The Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission arrested the headmaster of Gaidar Makada Special Primary School for allegedly selling school assets, with investigations ongoing to recover the stolen items and prevent future corruption.

The Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC) has arrested the Headmaster of Gaidar Makada Special Primary School in Kumbotso Local Government Area for allegedly selling school assets.

According to a statement released on Saturday by the commission’s spokesperson, Kabir Abba Kabir, the arrest came after the discovery of a scheme involving the illegal sale of important school property.

Kabir stated that the commission is actively investigating the case and working to recover the stolen assets.

“The investigation revealed that essential items, including metal fixtures, benches, and furniture, had mysteriously gone missing from the school,” the statement said.

“Suspicion fell on the headmaster, whose activities had previously been questioned during discussions with the School-Based Management Committee (SBMC) and Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) Chairmen.
