The government of Kano State has withdrawn its lawsuit against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, in which it sought to prevent the commission from inviting, investigating, or questioning Abdullahi Ganduje, the former governor of Kano State.
The notice of withdrawal of the suit that was submitted before the Federal High Court in Kano was contained in a letter that was dated 4th July 2023 and addressed to Sanusi Musa, SAN. The letter was signed by the Kano Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Haruna Isa Dederi, and contained the notice of withdrawal of the suit.
