Embattled wife of the Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State, Hajia Hafsat Ganduje, has been reportedly released, albeit on bail, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Recall that Hajia Ganduje was arrested and detained, on Monday evening, for several hours at the headquarters of the anti-graft agency, in Abuja.
It was unclear whether she spent the night at the EFCC custody or reported again on Tuesday morning, but credible sources said she sighted at the office, on Monday evening and on Tuesday morning.
Kano First Lady was granted bail on Tuesday morning after meeting the bail conditions set by the EFCC.
Her son, petitioned that he was approached by a property developer to help facilitate the acquisition of some plots of land in Kano with some hundreds of thousands of US dollars and at least 35 million Naira as “facilitation commission”.
“But three months later, (the property developer) discovered that the plots of land he wanted and had paid the first family for had been allocated to other buyers and he then requested to be refunded,” a source familiar with the petition said.
