The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested the wife of Kano State Governor, Hafsat Abdullahi Umar Ganduje over a bribery and land fraud case reported by her son.
The arrest comes weeks after her failure to honour the anti-graft agency’s invitation.
Mrs Ganduje had earlier been invited to report to the EFCC’s Abuja headquarters on September 13, but she did not appear and the EFCC then threatened to arrest her.
Premium Times newspaper report that Hafsat Ganduje was arrested Monday evening.
Premium Times further learnt that Mrs Ganduje was still at EFCC headquarters as of 6a.m. on Monday.
Recall that Abdulazeez had dragged his mum, Hafsat Ganduje, to the EFCC, sources familiar with the matter said, suggesting a pattern of corruptly using family access to power for private enrichment.
