Kano State Government on Friday called for the arrest of former Kano State Governor and immediate past national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
The State Commissioner for Information, Comrade Ibrahim Abdullahi Waiya, made the call while briefing journalists on the outcome of the State Executive Council meeting held on Thursday.
Waiya said bandits infiltrated a Kano community and abducted several people less than 48 hours after former Governor Ganduje’s outburst regarding the alleged plan to create a militia group in the state.
He disclosed that the Council resolved that Ganduje should be immediately investigated and arrested for allegedly attempting to form an illegal militia through the proposed Khairul Nas Corps.
The Commissioner noted that the Council also warned public officials, including Senator Barau Jibrin, to desist from making statements capable of inciting violence or causing unrest.
Comrade Waiya emphasized that the state government remains committed to maintaining peace and stability, adding that any attempt to instigate crisis in Kano will be met with lawful and decisive action.
He commended President Bola Tinubu and security agencies for their sustained support in safeguarding lives and property in the state.
