The court ordered Ganduje to pay Muhuyi Magaji 5.7 million naira
The National Industrial Court in Abuja has ordered the Kano state government to pay the suspended chairman of the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC), Muhuyi Magaji Rimin Gado, the sum of 5,713,891.22 Naira.
The court stated that this money that will be given to Muhuyi Magaji Rimin Gado is his salary from the day he was suspended until the day of the decision because the letter of suspension that was given to him did not contain information about the suspension of his salary.
The judge of the court, Justice Oyebiola O. Oyewumi, made the decision as a result of the fact that the governor of the state has not yet handed Muhuyi Magaji Rimin Gado the dismissal letter from the head of the state anti-corruption commission, except that he cannot serve in this position. not as a result of his suspension.
Muhuyi Magaji Rimin Gado asked the judge to overturn the illegal suspension, but the judge refused his request. The judge explained that doing so would be an interference between the employer and the person who hired him because he has the power to suspend or discipline the person who hired him.
The court ruled that the governor has the right to suspend the appointee, and he has the right to listen to him or not before doing so.
A few days ago, Muhuyi Magaji Rimin Gado clashed with the security forces after he refused to accept the invitation of the anti-corruption commission on the land scandal.
The Acting Chairman of the Commission, Mahmoud Balarabe stated that they invited Muhuyi Magaji on the suspicion of misappropriation of some important documents including the statement of some investigations of the Commission.
Muhuyi sued the state government for his suspension by the Kano State government in January 2022. He filed the case before the judicial division of the National Industrial Court Abuja through his lawyers.
In the Kano state government case, she is the first defendant, followed by the attorney general of Kano state, the Kano state legislature, the accountant general of Kano state, Barista Mahmud Balarabe, the police commissioner of Kano state as the 2nd defendant, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
