Kano Anti-Corruption Commission Cracks Down on Land Racketeering Syndicate, Including Security Agents

By Nura Ahmad
The Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC) has dismantled a syndicate involved in land racketeering, implicating security agents and government officials in the illegal activities.

PCACC Chairman, Barrister Muhuyi Magaji Rimingado, disclosed this during a town hall meeting organized by the commission on Tuesday. He reaffirmed the commission’s resolve to prosecute those found guilty, regardless of their influence or status.

Syndicate’s Modus Operandi

Rimingado revealed that the syndicate operated in collaboration with officials from the Ministry of Land and Physical Planning, security personnel, judicial staff, and officials from the Ministry of Justice. The group reportedly stole original land documents, replaced them with forged ones, and used these fraudulent documents to claim ownership of lands.

“These individuals colluded to manipulate court processes by presenting fake documents as evidence and obtaining court orders to legitimize their claims. In some cases, they even fabricated fire incidents to obtain fake certifications from the fire service, further deceiving the courts,” he explained.

He emphasized that the commission has exposed several of these fraudulent schemes and vowed to bring all culprits to justice. “No one involved in this crime, regardless of their position, will be spared,” Rimingado asserted.

Public Sensitization Efforts

The PCACC chairman also stressed the importance of educating the public about corruption, noting that town hall meetings serve as a platform to enlighten citizens. Reflecting on his decade of leadership at the commission, Rimingado said, “We have faced numerous challenges, but our commitment to fighting corruption remains unwavering.”

Stakeholder Support

The event saw notable figures commending the PCACC for its efforts. Justice Dije Aboki, represented by Barrister Mustapha Hassan Muhammad, lauded the commission’s fight against corruption and pledged continued judicial support. Similarly, Abba El-Mustapha, Executive Secretary of the Kano State Film Censorship Board, praised the commission and assured that the Kannywood industry would continue to raise awareness about the dangers of corruption.

Recognition and Awards

As part of the event, the commission recognized individuals and organizations contributing to the fight against corruption. Justice Dije Aboki was honored with the Integrity Award and named Anti-Corruption Icon of the Year. Other awardees included:

ACP Sulaiman Aliyu Gusau, CSP Sunday Ekwe, and CSP Nasir Gusau for their exceptional service.

Salisu T. Balarabe and Barrister Rabi Ibrahim Waya for their dedication to integrity.

Auwal Dankode, an aviation worker who found and returned $10,000, received a cash prize of ₦100,000.

Abba El-Mustapha for his outstanding contributions.


Additional Highlights

The event also featured the distribution of school bags to over 150 pupils who missed out during the previous week’s anti-corruption day celebration, as directed by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.

The PCACC remains committed to addressing corruption and fostering integrity across Kano State, ensuring accountability in all sectors.
