It said, “The governor, therefore, directed the Executive Chairman, Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission to immediately investigate the allegation and report the outcome for further necessary action.”
Mr Yusuf also urged the good people of the state to be patient pending the outcome of the investigation.
