The Court of Appeal in Abuja has overturned the suspension of Muhuyi Magaji, Chairman of the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC).
This follows the decision of a three-member panel of justices, led by Justice Umaru Fadawu, who declared the suspension order by the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) as prejudicial and a violation of Magaji’s right to a fair hearing.
Delivering the lead judgment on Friday, Justice Fadawu stated, “The suspension order by the CCT is flawed and violates the fundamental principles of fair hearing. We have also directed that the matter be reassigned to a different panel of the tribunal.”
Magaji was suspended on April 4, 2023, following allegations of misconduct levelled against him by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).
