Forensic analysis has confirmed that the dollar videos of ex-Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje were not doctored, the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC) has said.
The clips published by Daily Nigerian had trended on social media in 2017 and allegedly showed Ganduje receiving bundles of dollar notes and stuffing them inside his flowing dress known as “babanriga.”
While Ganduje debunked the content of the videos, the Kano State House of Assembly subsequently set up a committee to investigate the allegations but the committee is yet to submit its finding report and a new assembly was reportedly inaugurated on Tuesday.
But speaking at “A One Day Public Dialogue on Anti-Corruption Crusade in Kano”, on Wednesday, Barrister Muhuyi Magaji Rimingado, Chairman of the agency, confirmed the authenticity of the videos, DailyTrust reports.
He said since the release of the footages, people have been challenging him to prove the innocence or otherwise of the former governor in the matter.
Rimingado explained that his commission commenced investigation in 2018 but could not go far because Ganduje, who was governor at the time, had immunity.
