The Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) has arraigned the Chairman of the Kano State Anti-Graft Commission, Muhuyi Magaji, on a 10-count charge before the Code of Conduct Tribunal in Abuja following the discovery of an undisclosed N394 million in his bank account.
CCB announced the arraignment of the Kano anti-graft czar in a statement by its Head of Press, Veronica Kato in Abuja on Saturday.
According to the statement, Magaji was docked on charges bordering on alleged breach of the code of conduct for public officers, conflict of interest, abuse of office, false asset declaration, bribery, accepting gifts and others.
She said that Magaji was arraigned before the tribunal on Thursday.
Kato said investigations showed the existence of undisclosed bank accounts to the tune of N394 million, thereby raising suspicion of corruption.
She said the defendant was however granted bail with the sum of N5 million and two sureties with properties within the FCT.
