The Kano State Ministry for Public Procurement, Project Monitoring and Evaluation (MPPPM\&E) has issued a strong warning to the general public, particularly contractors, over a fraudulent scheme involving impersonation and solicitation of money under false pretenses.

This alert was issued following reports that an individual, falsely identifying herself as Hajiya Hadiza Ibrahim, has been contacting contractors using the phone numbers +2349013782697 and +2349036876486, claiming to be a staff member of the Ministry. According to the Ministry, the impersonator is requesting payments for the so-called “renewal of due process licenses” in connection with an alleged “Emergency Award of Contract.”

In a statement released by the Ministry’s Information Officer, Sagiru Ado Abubakar, it was revealed that the impersonator also instructs victims to make payments into bank accounts such as that of Aliyu Yahaya, FCMB account number 6092046011.

The Ministry categorically disclaimed any connection with these fraudulent calls and warned that no individual has been authorized to make such demands on its behalf. It further clarified that all legitimate payments related to contractor registration or license renewals are made only through the official state government tax portal:
[https://etax.kirs.gov.ng](https://etax.kirs.gov.ng).

“The Ministry wishes to categorically state that these calls are fraudulent, misleading, and completely false,” the statement emphasized. “Anyone who engages with these fraudulent actors does so at their own risk.”

To this end, the Ministry urged contractors and the general public to ignore any calls or messages requesting payments outside of official procedures and channels.

For verified information and communication regarding contractor registration or any procurement-related matters, individuals are advised to visit the Ministry’s office at:

Kano State Ministry for Public Procurement, Project Monitoring and Evaluation
No. 21B, Magajin Rumfa Road, Kano.

Alternatively, inquiries can be directed to:

Director, Planning and Statistics
Phone: **+2349012946574
Email: [kanodueprocessbureau16@gmail.com](mailto:kanodueprocessbureau16@gmail.com)

The Ministry also advised the public to remain vigilant and not to fall victim to fraud, reaffirming its commitment to transparency, due process, and accountability in all procurement-related matters.

A chieftain and leader of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kano State, Alhaji Ibrahim Ali Amin “Little,” has filed a legal action at the Kano State High Court challenging the establishment of an Independent Hisbah body in the state.

It will be recalled that Little had earlier written to the concerned parties, urging them to suspend the move in the interest of peace and stability in the state. A copy of the letter, addressed to former Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, was also sent to the Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf; Baffa Babba Danagundi; Haruna Ibn Sina; and the Department of State Services (DSS).

According to his Executive Assistant and Media Aide, Adnan Mukhtar, Little decided to seek legal redress following what he described as the respondents’ persistence and insistence on proceeding with the establishment of the Independent Hisbah.

“Dissatisfied with their recent actions and continued insistence on moving forward with the establishment process, Little approached the Kano State High Court to seek redress,” Mukhtar said.

Those listed as respondents in the suit include the Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, the Kano State House of Assembly, the Attorney General of Kano State, the Kano State Hisbah Board, Baffa Babba Danagundi, and Haruna Ibn Sina.

In an official statement posted on his Facebook page, Little said:

“I have today instructed my lawyers to file an action challenging the establishment of an Independent Hisbah in Kano State. This follows my recent letter to the parties concerned and their insistence on proceeding with the establishment of the Independent Hisbah.

 

“I believe this move is an attempt to disrupt our peaceful coexistence at a time when the state is facing security challenges.

 

“The peace of Kano State remains our utmost priority.

Kano Sabuwa, In sha Allahu.”
