Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, Kabiru Alhassan Rurum, said the Assembly was suspending its investigations into the Kano State Emirate Council, following a letter from the Governor, Umar Ganduje.
Speaker of Kanp State Assembly said the investigation was not in any way connected to the one already being carried out by the Kano Public Complaints and Anti-corruption Commission but was as a result of a motion raised by a member of the Assembly, Ibrahim Gama.
The senior council official in charge of finance in the emirate, Bashir Wali, gave the clarifications after the Kano State anti-corruption agency opened an investigation into the accounts of the emirate council over allegations of questionable expenditures running into billions of naira over a short period of time.
Emir Sanusi also called for a better understanding and interpretations of Islamic laws and rules especially with regards to better life for women and children, especially the girl-child.
