Allegation
The EFCC alleged that Bashir Bello Ibrahim, a former Kaduna State government contractor whose contract was terminated in October 2023, continued posing as a state-affiliated consultant to the 23 local government areas and to a charity foundation, claiming a 2020 MoU with the state government to source donor-agency grants, and used this false affiliation to defraud at least 251 victims — mostly contractors — who supplied construction materials, hospital equipment, and drugs for supposed local government projects that were never paid for.
Outcome / Status
The EFCC arrested Ibrahim in May 2025 and recovered vehicles, ambulances, generators, and a large quantity of hospital equipment and medicines from his warehouse; no trial outcome had been identified as of this update.
Administration's response
No detailed on-record Kaduna State Government statement was identified for this entry beyond confirming that Ibrahim's contract had been terminated in 2023, well before the alleged fraudulent activity continued.

Allegation
A Kaduna Central senator of the opposition PDP petitioned the International Criminal Court alleging Governor Sani directed state security agencies and EFCC operatives to intimidate and incapacitate opposition candidates ahead of a 2025 by-election, including the seizure of over ₦26 million belonging to the PDP and the arrest of more than 25 senior party stakeholders.
Outcome / Status
No ICC action or ruling had been identified as of this update; the allegation remains a petition rather than a proven finding.
Administration's response
No detailed on-record government rebuttal specific to this petition was identified for this entry.
disputeddisputed
Allegation
Contractors publicly alleged they were owed roughly ₦30 billion by the Kaduna State Government for completed works.
Outcome / Status
The Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure told the contractors in May 2026 to seek redress in court rather than through public pressure, stating the government would address genuine claims through legal and administrative channels rather than being pressured by public outcry.
Administration's response
The government did not deny that some claims might be genuine but declined to make blanket payments, directing contractors toward formal legal and administrative processes instead.
