The Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC) has launched an investigation into the immediate past Head of Service in the state, Abdullahi Musa, over alleged deductions from workers’ salaries.
Chairman of the commission, Barrister Sa’idu Yahaya, disclosed this during an interview with journalists in Kano following reports that the agency marked Musa’s residence in Kumbotso Local Government Area.
According to Yahaya, the former Head of Service has been invited to appear before the commission within one week to respond to questions regarding the allegations.
“The commission is investigating intelligence reports concerning alleged deductions of workers’ monies. He has been invited to answer questions relating to the matter,” Yahaya said.
He further confirmed that the commission marked the residence as part of the ongoing investigation.

Reports indicate that officials of the anti-graft agency inscribed a notice in red paint at the entrance of the former HoS’ residence located at Almukab City Housing Estate in Kumbotso Local Government Area.
The inscription reportedly reads: “Under Investigation, PCACC Kano 18/05/2026.”
The commission stated that investigations are ongoing to establish the facts surrounding the allegations and determine the next line of action if the claims are substantiated.
Abdullahi Musa served as Kano State Head of Service until March 2026, when Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf removed him from office as part of efforts to reform and reposition the state civil service.
Following his exit from office, allegations emerged over purported unauthorised deductions from civil servants’ salaries, prompting further scrutiny by relevant authorities.
