Ganduje to Fulani herders: Indulge in banditry, get death sentence

Ganduje said the Kano state law has prescribed death sentence for anyone guilty of banditry.

Kano state Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has read the riot act to Fulani herders in the state urging them to not engage in banditry as anyone caught and found guilty of the offence will pay the ultimate price.

The Governor issued the warning at the formal launch of the statewide mass cattle and small ruminants vaccination campaign held at Kadawa Village, Garun-mallam Local Government Area of the state on Saturday, February 26, 2022.

In the same vein, Ganduje also reminded the herders that anyone caught in the act of cattle rustling runs the risk of spending the rest of their life in prison.

He said his government's decision to engage the now 'born again' herdsmen in a dialogue has helped to eliminate cattle rustling in the state.

"We have succeeded in stamping out cattle rustling, as I cannot recall when we experienced it because we entered into dialogue with herdsmen who confessed and became born-again. We trained them and empowered them."

“So don’t indulge in cattle rustling because we have a law; if you commit cattle rustling, it is life imprisonment. Similarly, if you indulge in banditry, it is death sentence,” he said.

Kano state has remained peaceful despite the activities of bandits and other criminal groups operating in other North West states.

Zamfara, Kaduna, and Sokoto states have come under the invasion of the marauding bandits who have continued to terrorise communities along the borders of the three states.

EFCC insists on presentation of Grace Tiaga's death certificate in P&ID case

Tiaga's counsel communicated the unavailability of the death certificate, requesting additional time. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is steadfast in its demand for the death certificate of the late Grace Tiaga, a former director of legal services at the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, to be submitted in court. Tiaga faced charges brought by the EFCC, alleging her involvement in receiving payments from Process & Industrial Development (P&ID) to manipulate the 20-year gas supply and processing agreement (GSPA) against Nigeria. The EFCC claims that these illicit payments were made through her daughter and persisted even after her retirement. The accusations extend to Tiaga's purported failure to adhere to due process while providing legal counsel on the GSPA. Initially facing eight counts of fraud, she was remanded to Suleja prison in 2019, later granted bail, and the charges were expanded to 13 counts. As the trial progressed, the prosecution p
