Meanwhile, The Street Journal reports that a property located on Miller Road in Kano metropolis said to be owned by Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, has been taken over by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Kwankwaso represented Kano Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly between 2015 and 2019 and was also a two-term governor of the state.
A source familiar with the development told Daily Trust that operatives of the EFCC sealed the property following a petition sent to the commission by some members of the family of Ismaila Gwarzo, a former National Security Adviser.
According to the source, the family members had alleged that one Abdullahi Muazu Gwarzo (Baba Gandu), a former Managing Director of the defunct REMASAB in Kano, sold the property belonging to the family to Kwankwaso and refused to remit the money to the family.
