The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Friday sealed a property belonging to Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso who represented Kano Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly between 2011 and 2015.
It was learnt that the anti-graft agency had been investigating the former governor over an allegation of diversion of local government funds amounting to N3.08 billion.
A petition written by one Barrister Mustapha Danjuma on behalf of Engineer Abubakar Maisha’ani and Alhaji Najumai Garba Kobo, had alleged that Kwankwaso received contributions of N70 million from each of the 44 local government councils in the state (totalling N3.08 billion) towards his presidential primary in 2015, Daily Trust reports.
Kwankwaso has also had a running battle with the current governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje and known to be a critic of Buhari’s government.
