The Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission has arrested two suspects and summoned three permanent secretaries for questioning regarding an alleged scam involving the selling of employment forms in the Office of the Head of Service.
The commission’s Chairman, Muhuyi Rimin-Gado, stated in Kano on Wednesday that an investigation was underway to identify and prosecute individuals guilty for the tragedy. He claimed that the deception affected thousands of needy job hopefuls.
