Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf has ordered an immediate investigation into allegations of a drug supply contract across the 44 Local Government Councils of the state.
This development may be related to recent allegations made by a popular skitmaker, who claimed in a video that the state government was involved in a drug supply contract.
Governor Yusuf has denied any knowledge of the contract and has directed the Chairman of the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC), Bar. Muhuyi Rimingado, to conduct an investigation into the allegations.
