Kano Govt Moves to Recover Official Vehicles from Former Commissioners Over Non-Compliance

The Kano State Government has commenced the recovery of official vehicles from former commissioners who allegedly failed to return them after leaving office, in a decisive move to safeguard public assets and enforce administrative regulations.

The operation, which took place on Thursday, February 26, 2026, was led by the Chairman of the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC), Comrade Sa’idu Yahaya.

According to the Commission, the Office of the Secretary to the State Government had earlier issued formal notices directing affected former officials to return all government-owned vehicles in their possession. However, following reported non-compliance by some individuals, the Commission initiated an official recovery exercise.

Vehicles were retrieved from the following former commissioners:
Ibrahim Umar, former Commissioner for Security

Mustapha Rabiu Kwankwaso, former Commissioner for Youth and Sports

Yusuf Ibrahim Kofar Mata, former Commissioner for
Science and Technology

Adamu Aliyu Kibiya, former Commissioner for Humanitarian Affairs

Nasiru Sule Garo, former Commissioner for Special Duties

The Commission reaffirmed its commitment to protecting government property and ensuring transparency, accountability, and integrity in the administration of public affairs.

The latest action underscores the state government’s intensified efforts to strengthen institutional mechanisms that guarantee the proper use of public assets and prevent unauthorized possession of government property.
