Last Updated: Saturday, October 23rd, 2004 HOME | Previous Page Panel summons Kwankwaso augustine madu Kano Defence Minister, Alhaji Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has been ordered by the state Judicial Commission of Inquiry investigating his activities as state governor from 1999 to May 28, 2003 to appear before it on October 26. The order was given on Thursday by the chairman of the commission, Justice A.T Badamosi. He said the order became necessary following the attitude of the former  State governor to the probe, stressing  that  the defence minister had avoided all the commission’s correspondences. Justice Badamosi who frowned at Kwankwaso’s approach to the development said, “he must appear before it on Tuesday to answer corrupt charges against him. “It is on record that before this commission adjourned,  the former governor was served  with a summon, however, we received a letter from his counsel for a suitable date for his appearance which the commission obliged,” said the judge. According to him, to the dismay of the commission, few days after, it received a letter from an Abuja Federal High Court as well as another from Kano restraining the commission from further action against Kwankwaso. However, following the court ruling  which lifted the earlier restriction for his appearance, the commission is now compelled to serve the former governor through a substitute service. Earlier, the prosecution counsel, Mr. M.L Ibrahim, had told the commission that, after the court’s ruling which lifted the restriction on Kwankwaso’s appearance, he wrote a letter to him intimating Kwankwaso of the court’s ruling as well as serving him a fresh summon. Kano State government had in August last year, set up a commission of inquiry to investigate activities of the former PDP led government with Kwankwaso as the governor between May 29, 1999 to May 28 , 2003.
