Former Kano
State governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, yesterday denied the report in a section of
the media that he was being placed under house arrest by operatives of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Kwankwaso,
now representing Kano Central senatorial district at the National Assembly,
said in a statement that he was neither invited by the EFCC nor was ever
prevented from discharging his legislative duties by any agency.
The
statement, signed by his private secretary, Muhammad Inuwa Ali, however, noted
that some political detractors of the politician were bent on causing a rift
between him and the anti-corruption agency.
It noted that
sometimes in 2015, some political opponents of Kwankwaso wrote a petition
against him to the EFCC.
It noted that
the ex-governor’s supporters sought his permission to institute legal action
against the said petitioners, to which he consented.
