    Code of Conduct Tribunal has suspended the Chairman, Kano State Anti-corruption and Public Complains Commission, Alhaji Muhuyi Magaji.

    This is contained in a statement on Thursday, April 4, in Abuja by the chief press secretary, Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), Mrs Veronica Kato.

    According to Kato, Magaji was suspended over a 10-count charge of corruption filed against him by the CCB on the 16th of November, 2023.

    The statement read: “Delivering the ruling, the Chairman CCT, Justice Danladi Umar, established that the Tribunal has the competence and jurisdiction to hear the case.

    “Hence the suspension, this is pending the conclusion of the trial.”

    The case has been adjourned to the 7th and 8th May 2024 for hearing.
