New Drama In Kano Electoral Scandal
A federal high court in Abuja on Tuesday granted bail to the chairman of the Kano State Independent Electoral Commission, Sani Malumfashi, amid an ongoing trial over an alleged N1 billion fraud linked to the commission’s finances.
Malumfashi was arraigned alongside Anas Muhammed Mustapha, the commission’s secretary, and Ado Garba, a deputy director in the accounts department.
The trio is facing charges connected to the alleged diversion and misuse of public funds meant for electoral activities in Kano State.
The case is being heard before Justice James Omotosho, who approved bail for Malumfashi in the sum of N200 million. The court set conditions aimed at ensuring his availability for trial as proceedings continue.
The charges form part of a wider crackdown on alleged financial misconduct within state electoral bodies, as authorities push to strengthen accountability in institutions responsible for managing elections.
