 Court Sets April 15 for Hearing in Ganduje’s Bribery Case


The Kano State High Court has scheduled April 15, 2025, to hear all pending preliminary objections in the bribery and misappropriation case involving APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, his wife, Hafsat Umar, and six others.


The Kano State Government has filed an eight-count charge against the defendants, accusing them of bribery, fund misappropriation, and the diversion of public funds amounting to billions of naira.


Other defendants in the case include Abubakar Bawuro, Umar Abdullahi Umar, Jibrilla Muhammad, Lamash Properties Ltd, Safari Textiles Ltd, and Lasage General Enterprises Ltd.


During Thursday’s hearing, prosecution counsel Adeola Adedipe (SAN) informed the court that the prosecution was ready to proceed, having filed a motion on notice seeking an extension of time to regularize a preliminary objection.


Similarly, defense counsel for Ganduje, his wife, and Umar, Lydia Oluwakemi-Oyewo, indicated readiness for defense. However, some defense lawyers requested additional time to complete legal processes.


Counsel for the 3rd and 7th defendants, Adekunle Taiye-Falola, sought more time to respond to a further affidavit on points of law, while Sunusi Musa (SAN), representing the 5th defendant, moved a similar motion for an extension.


Meanwhile, counsel for the 6th respondent, Abubakar Ahmed, stated that he had already filed a preliminary objection and was prepared to proceed, whereas Ibrahim Aliyu-Nasarawa, representing the 8th defendant, requested additional time.


After reviewing the submissions, Justice Amina Adamu-Aliyu granted the applications for extension of time and adjourned the case to April 15, 2025.


The case, which has drawn widespread public interest, is expected to move forward with the hearing of objections before the substantive trial begins.
