Earlier, a controversial content creator on social media, who had been revealing corrupt practices of Nigerian leaders, that include the issue of ownership of a refinery in Malta by the Nigerian first family, Bello Galadanci, had alleged that 44 local governments in the state have been instructed to pay about N9 million to a company called Novomed for the purchase of medical supplies.
It is alleged by the social media activist that already about 24 local government councils have complied with the instruction given them by their leader.
He further revealed that the company is owned by one Musa Garba Kwankwaso, a relation of Rabiu Kwankwaso, the leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).
