Kano Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje
The Kano State governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has appeared in a trove
of video clips receiving bribe, amounting to about $5million from
contractors in the state.
Multiple contractors who spoke with DAILY NIGERIAN
on the condition of anonymity said the governor personally receives
from 15 to 25 percent kickbacks for every project executed in the state.
The sting operation to capture the governor on camera began two
years ago when one of the contractors agreed with DAILY NIGERIAN request
to plant spy camera on his kaftan lapel while offering the bribe.
During about 10 months efforts to capture the bribe giving/taking
scenes, the governor’s face and body were clearly captured in nine
clips, while six others did not clearly reveal the governor’s face.
About $5m dollars were delivered to the governor during the sting
operation.
One of the contractors who preferred not to be named said the
reason he collaborated with DAILY NIGERIAN was to expose corruption and
bring sanity to the country.
