A Federal High Court sitting in Kano has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a Kano based lawyer Bulama Bukarti asking the court to mandate the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate the state governor, Abdullahii Umar Ganduje, for allegedly receiving kickback from a contractor.
 
Recall that in October 2018, videos purportedly showing the governor receiving bundles of dollar notes from a road contractor surfaced online. The governor has since denied the allegation, saying the videos were doctored.
 
Bulama had approached the court seeking for an order compelling the EFCC to provide report of its forensic investigation analysis of the said videos.
 
However, delivering judgement in the suit today, Justice Egwuatu dismissed the case on the grounds that the evidence brought before him did not show that the EFCC has the record of the forensic analysis of the bribery video allegations.

Nigerians are reacting to the decision of the Federal High Court in Kano to dismiss a lawsuit filed by a lawyer, Bulama Bukarti, asking the court to order the EFCC to investigate the viral video purportedly showing Kano state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, collecting wads of dollar notes from a road contractor in his state.
 
Journalist Jafaar Jafaar shared series of videos in October 2018 purportedly showing the governor receiving kickbacks from contractors employed by his government. 
 
The court presided over by Justice Egwuatu, dismissed the suit saying it lacked merit. According to the judge, the evidence that must be brought to the court must be cogent and verifiable. 
 
Well, Nigerians have taken to Twitter to react to the news. Many are expressing shock at the decision of the court
