According to Daily Trust, a source within the Commission confirmed the arrest of Rimingado.
“It is true. He was arrested today (Friday) and he would likely be taken to Abuja.”
ASP Ahmed Bello led the police team and insisted that he had instructions to detain Rimingado.
The source said the PCACC chairman’s arrest may be connected to an ongoing trial involving the former Managing Director of Kano Agricultural Supply Company Limited (KASCO), Bala Muhammed Inuwa.
