Caught in the cesspool of corruption, the Chairman of Kano State Anti-Graft Commission, Muhuyi Magaji, has been hauled up before a tribunal in Abuja.

Magaji is facing a 10-count charge before the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) Tribunal in Abuja.

The charge include the discovery of an undisclosed N394 million in his bank account.

CCB announced the arraignment of the Kano anti-graft czar in a statement by its Head of Press, Veronica Kato in Abuja on Saturday.

Other charges include alleged breach of the code of conduct for public officers, conflict of interest, abuse of office, false asset declaration, bribery, accepting gifts and others.

Investigations showed the existence of undisclosed bank accounts to the tune of N394 million, thereby raising suspicion of corruption, Kato said.

Magaji was, however, granted bail in the sum of N5 million and two sureties who have properties in the FCT.
