From Desmond Mgboh, Kano

 

Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf has the State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC) to immediately commence investigation into alleged supply of drugs to the 44 Local Government Councils of the state.

 

The Governor gave the directive in a press statement jointly signed by the Commissioner of Information, Baba Halilu Dantiye and the Director General, Media and Publicity to the Governor, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa.

 

In the statement issued on Sunday, the Governor denied knowledge of the contract said to have been recently awarded for the supply of drugs to 44 Local Government Councils.

 

He also urged the people of the state to exercise patience pending the outcome of the investigation.

 

The Governor’s reaction, it was gathered, followed an allegation made by a social media content creator in the state, Dan – Bello in respect to the purported contract.
