Sani had been accused of collecting money from the owner of ASD Motors, Sani Dauda, with a promise of passing it on to the acting chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu.
The vocal critic of the Kaduna State government, who represented Kaduna central senatorial district in the 8th senate was also accused of claiming that he could assist Dauda in influencing the outcome of some cases using his connection with Muhammad Tanko, the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) and some other judges.
