Hafsat Ganduje, the wife of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano, has ignored an invitation extended to her by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Hafsat was reported to the anti-graft agency t week, over a bribery and land fraud case by her son, Abdualzeez.
Reports have it that Abdulazeez dragged his mum to the EFCC, a move that suggested she was corruptly using family access to power for private enrichment.

According to sources who saw Abdulazeez’s petition, he reported that he was approached by a property developer to help facilitate the acquisition of some plots of land in Kano with some hundreds of thousands of US dollars and at least 35 million Naira as “facilitation commission”.
“But three months later, (the property developer) discovered that the plots of land he wanted and had paid the first family for had been allocated to other buyers and he then requested to be refunded,” one source added.
Ganduje, the governor, had previously been involved in a corruption-related scandal. He has struggled to untangle himself from the public perception that he is a corrupt public servant since 2018 when Daily Nigerian published a series of videos that showed the governor collecting money from a government contractor.
