Fraud
By Ahmed Mohammad
The Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission has arrested Alhaji Abdullahi Mohammed, Chairman of Kiru Local Government Area, for allegedly selling land worth over N100 million meant for Kafin Maiyaki Mini Stadium.
The commission discovered that the amount was paid into Mohammed’s personal account, with his account receiving N240 million from November 1, 2024, to February 27, 2025.
A company called Mahasum purchased the plots of land allocated for the Kafin Maiyaki Mini Stadium.
The Public Relations Officer of the Commission, Mr. Kabir Abba Kabir, confirmed the arrest, stating that Mohammed is cooperating with the investigation.
This arrest is part of the commission’s efforts to root out corruption and ensure accountability.
The investigation is ongoing, with Mohammed currently in custody. Notably, the commission is also investigating a massive land scam worth N20 billion in different parts of the state, with no fewer than 15 suspects arrested.
