Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has ordered a full-scale investigation into the alleged involvement of the State Commissioner for Transport, Alhaji Ibrahim Namadi, in the controversial bail of a suspected drug baron, Sulaiman Aminu Dan Wawu.
The directive came following public outrage after reports surfaced that the Commissioner’s name appeared in official documents that facilitated the suspect’s release.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Saturday by the Governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa.
To address the matter, Governor Yusuf has constituted a special investigative committee chaired by Barrister Aminu Hussain, his Special Adviser on Justice and Constitutional Matters.
The committee has been tasked with unraveling the circumstances surrounding the incident and recommending appropriate actions without delay.
The Daily Reality reports that members of the committee include Barr. Aminu Hussain (Chairman), Barr. Hamza Haladu, Barr. Hamza Nuhu Dantani, Alhaji Abdullahi Mahmoud Umar, Maj. Gen. Sani Muhammad (Rtd.), Comrade Kabiru Said Dakata, and Hajiya Bilkisu Maimota, who will serve as Secretary.
While announcing the committee’s formation, Governor Yusuf expressed deep concern over the alleged misconduct, reiterating his administration’s commitment to combating drug abuse and other social vices in the state.
