Code of Conduct Bureau suspends Chairman, Kano state’s Anti-graft Agency

The Code of Conduct Bureau has today announced the suspension of the Chairman of the Kano State Public Complaint and Anti-corruption Commission, Muhyi Magaji, following allegations of misconduct and breaches of public officer’s conduct.

The CCT granted a motion for his suspension, directing him to step aside from his position pending the resolution of the case.

The Kano State Government had earlier dragged the Federal Government before the state High Court over what it described as harassment and intimidation of its PCACC chairman by three federal agencies.

This was a sequel to an invitation sent to the PCACC and its officials by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission, and the Code of Conduct Bureau, respectively, to answer questions over the state commission’s administration from 2011 to date.
