Muhuyi Magaji Rimin Gado
The Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) has suspended the Chairman of the Kano State Anti-Corruption and Public Complaints Commission, Muhuyi Magaji from his position.
The suspension followed a 10-count corruption charge preferred against him by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) on November 16, 2023.
The Chief Press Secretary of the CCB, Veronica Kato announced the suspension in a statement issued on Thursday in Abuja.
According to Kato, the decision to suspend Magaji was made to ensure that he did not interfere with the ongoing trial against him.

According to the statement, the Chairman of the CCT, Justice Danladi Umar, in a ruling, established that the Tribunal has the competence and jurisdiction to hear the case.
Justice Umar emphasised that it would be inappropriate for Magaji to continue discharging the duties of his office while facing trial.
“Muhuyi Magaji cannot continue to discharge the duties and responsibilities of his office while facing trial, to avoid any interference with the case. hence the suspension, this is pending the conclusion of the trial,” Kato explained.
The case against Magaji has been adjourned till May 7th and 8th, 2024, for further hearings.
It is expected that during these hearings, both the prosecution and defense will present their arguments and evidence before the Tribunal.
