Kano High Court Sets April 15 for Hearing in Ganduje Corruption Case

Ganduje

A high court in Kano has scheduled April 15, 2025, for the hearing of preliminary objections in the corruption case involving Abdullahi Ganduje, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The Kano state government has filed an eight-count charge against Ganduje, along with his wife, Hafsat Ganduje, his son, Umar Abdullahi Umar, and five other defendants. The charges include bribery, misappropriation, and diversion of public funds. The co-defendants are Abubakar Bawuro, Jibrilla Muhammad, Lamash Properties Limited, Safari Textiles Limited, and Lasage General Enterprises Limited.

During the court session on Thursday, February 13, the state’s counsel, Adeola Adedipe, expressed readiness to proceed with the applications. While lawyers for Ganduje and some co-defendants also indicated their preparedness, others requested more time to regularize their submissions.

Justice Amina Adamu-Aliyu granted the requests for an extension and adjourned the case to April 15, when all pending preliminary objections will be heard.
