The court delivered the judgement on Monday, December 16, throwing out the suit brought by Audu Bulama-Bukarti, a lawyer based in the state. Bulama-Bukarti had wanted the court to order the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to provide the report of its forensic investigation into the allegations against the governor. The Nation reports that the court threw the case away for lacking evidence.

The court said it was moved to throw out the case because the evidence before it does not prove that the EFCC has any record of a forensic investigation into the alleged bribery video. Legit.ng had reported how Bulama-Bukarti had demanded the certified true copies of the videos showing Abdullahi Ganduje allegedly receiving a bribe. Bulama-Bukarti had made the demand in a letter to the acting chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu. With the court ruling, Governor Ganduje has nothing more to worry about the video.

Recall that in 2018, a scandalous video has been published appearing to show the governor pocketing vast wads of American dollars. Ganduje was accused of collecting bribe from public works contractors. The governor has since debunked the video as “cloned” and threatened a sweeping lawsuit against its publisher.
