The Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission has arrested the Chairman of Kiru Local Government Area of the state, Abdullahi Mohammed, for allegedly selling land worth over N100 million meant for Kafin Maiyaki mini Stadium.
The commission’s Public Relations Officer, Kabir Kabir, confirmed the arrest on Friday, February 28, 2025.
Kabir said the commission discovered that the amount was paid into Mohammed’s personal account.
Kabir stated that an investigation revealed that a company, Mahasum, purchased the plots of land allocated for the mini stadium.
