The Chairman of the Kano State Public Complaint and Anti-corruption Commission (PCAC), Muhyi Magaji Rimingado, has been suspended by the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) due to allegations of misconduct and breaches of public officer conduct.
Rimingado was arraigned in Abuja, facing charges that include conflict of interest, false asset declaration, and accepting bribes. The Tribunal granted a motion for his suspension, directing him to step aside from his position pending the resolution of the case.
There are plans to appeal the ruling, citing a standing court order that restrains Rimingado’s arraignment and the investigative processes of bodies like the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) and the EFCC.

It is noteworthy that the Kano State government had previously taken legal action against the Federal Government over what it claimed was harassment and intimidation of the PCACC chairman by three federal agencies.
This legal action followed invitations sent to the PCACC and its officials by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), and Code of Conduct Bureau, respectively, to answer questions regarding the administration of the state’s commission from 2011 to the present.
In response, the court issued an exparte order, presided over by Justice Farouk Adamu, instructing the federal agencies and their agents to cease questioning or investigating officials of the PCACC.
