Henry Danjuma, Chairman of the Adhoc Committee set up by the Kaduna State House of Assembly to investigate financial dealings that have to do with loans and contractual obligations by the administration of former governor Nasir El-Rufai, says the committee will receive more testimonies from those invited to appear before it.

Fielding questions from newsmen after a sitting that lasted late into the night on Monday, the committee chairman said all testimonies will be analysed before reaching final findings.
