The immediate past Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Kano state, Barrister Musa Abdullahi Lawal, has described the threatened moves by the reinstated Kano Anti Corruption Commission boss, Barrister Muhyi Magaji Rimin Gado to reopen former Governor Ganduje alleged Dollar Video case, as an act of ignorance of the law.
Disclosing this in an interview with pressmen in Kano on Thursday, in his reaction to what the Kano state Anti-graft chairman said in an interview, the former State Attorney General asked, ‘How can you open an investigation into a case that is before a Federal Appeal Court in Abuja?’
He then reminded Barrister Rimi-Gado that the case in question is a legal issue that had been delivered at an Abuja High which led to Appeal Court in Abuja.
‘The Dollar Video Case is still an allegation that is before a competent Court in Abuja, so for somebody to now come to Kano and start talking about it could even be tantamount to contempt of Court.’
Barrister Lawal further stated that the case has two faces, one Criminal and the other one civil. The Civil aspect is before the Appeal Court while the criminal one is being investigated by the Police.
According to him, ‘The Police Headquarters in Abuja are handling the criminal aspect of the case, and all those that are involved that were the Contractors handling Kano Projects have testified before the Police, and the case has not been closed.’
‘Part of the Police Investigation into the Criminal aspect of the case led to the Principal accused person running away from Nigeria, and up till now, the Police authority has not closed down the case, so what are you investigating?’
Barrister Lawal then cautioned against doing something that would jeopardize the Court and the Police Investigation on the matter, saying as a lawyer, the State Anti-graft should know what the judiciary procedures entail and be cautious of his actions.
