The suspension placed on Muhuyi Magaji Rimingado, the chairman of the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC), by the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) has been quashed by an Abuja Appeal Court.
A three-member panel of justices, in the lead judgment read by Justice Umaru Fadawu on Friday, also ordered that the matter be re-assigned to another panel of the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
Justice Fadawu, in the verdict, agreed with the arguments of Magaji’s counsel, Mr Adeola Adedipe, that the tribunal’s order was prejudicial and amounted to his client’s denial of fair hearing.
Recall that the CCT had, on April 4, 2024, in Abuja, ordered the suspension of Magaji from office.
