The files, crucial for ongoing cases, were taken from the Kano State High Court, leading to widespread suspicion and criticism of the incident on social media.
Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has raised concerns over the alleged disappearance of crucial corruption trial documents related to former Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje. The files, which were stored at the Kano State High Court, were reportedly taken during the recent "End Bad Governance" protests.
The court was one of many locations vandalized and set ablaze by demonstrators. Governor Yusuf, during an inspection of the damaged court, expressed his frustration, calling the incident a deliberate attempt to obstruct justice. The statement, released by his spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, described the vandalism as a "staged-managed mission" aimed at derailing the corruption cases against Ganduje, who is currently the National Chairman of the APC.
The news has sparked widespread reactions on social media, with many questioning the security of such critical documents and suspecting a possible inside job. Others mocked the situation, with some calling it a "convenient" turn of events and questioning the lack of digital backups for the files. The incident has fueled further distrust in the government's handling of corruption cases, with many Nigerians expressing frustration and disbelief at the situation.
As the controversy continues, the fate of the corruption charges against Ganduje remains uncertain, leaving many to wonder about the future of accountability in the country.
