The Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-corruption Commission is investigating the managing director of the state-owned television station, Abubakar Rimi Television, Alhaji Mustapha Adamu Indabawa, over allegations of misappropriation and mismanagement.

“Since the matter is before the anti-graft agency, I would not want to say a word,” Indabawa told Daily Trust, declining to comment on the allegations.

The investigation follows a petition by the station’s joint union, the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) and Radio Television and Theatre Arts Workers Union (RATTAWU), which accused Indabawa of misappropriating about N100 million and abusing his office.

Indabawa, who was recently appointed by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, was reportedly grilled by investigators on Friday concerning alleged misappropriation of over N60 million and the theft of N3 million in UNICEF airtime cash, which he claimed was stolen from his car.

This offense violates Section 26 of the law establishing the anti-corruption agency and is punishable by a minimum of three years in prison.
