The arraignment took place before Honourable Justice Musa Danladi Abubakar of the Katsina State High Court on Thursday, February 5, 2026. The EFCC's Kano Zonal Directorate brought the charges, alleging Bichi received kickbacks from contractors during his tenure as Vice-Chancellor. The case is currently before the court, with the defendants facing trial for their alleged roles in the bribery scandal.
