Kano State Government on Friday called for the arrest of former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and immediate past governor of the state Abdullahi Umar Ganduje
Kano State Commissioner for Information, Comrade Ibrahim Abdullahi Waiya, made the call while briefing journalists over the outcome of the State Executive Council meeting held on Thursday.
According to Solacebase, Waiya said bandits infiltrated a Kano community and abducted several people, in less than 48 hours after former Governor Ganduje’s outburst about the move to create a militia group in the state.
The Commissioner said the Council resolved that former Governor Ganduje should be immediately investigated and arrested for allegedly attempting to create an illegal militia through the proposed Khairul Nas corps.
He noted that the council 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 preserving peace and stability, warning that any attempt to incite crisis in Kano will be confronted with lawful and decisive action.
He applauded President Bola Tinubu and security agencies for their sustained support in protecting lives and properties in Kano
