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.
