Kano State governor, Umaru Ganduje’s wife, Hafsat has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Insiders squealed to us that she was arrested on Monday, October 4th, 2021 over a bribery and land fraud case reported by her son, Abdualzeez Ganduje.
She had earlier been invited to report to the EFCC’s Abuja headquarters on September 13, but she failed to honour the invitation.
Her son, Abdulazeez in a petition to the EFCC said he was approached by a property developer to facilitate the acquisition of some plots of land in Kano with some hundreds of thousands of US dollars as commission.
He said three months later, the property developer discovered that the plots of land he paid for had been allocated to other buyers and he requested for refund.
Abdulazeez said the mother refused to honour the request, straining the relationship between him and the developer.
