Kano gov orders probe into commissioner’s role in drug baron’s bail

Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has ordered a thorough investigation into the alleged role of the State Commissioner for Transport, Alhaji Ibrahim Namadi, in securing bail for a suspected drug baron, Sulaiman Aminu Dan Wawu.

The Governor’s directive comes amid growing public concern and outrage following revelations that the Commissioner’s name appeared in official documents linked to the release of the high-profile suspect.

In a statement issued on Saturday by the Governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, the government announced the formation of a special investigative committee to probe the matter.

The committee will be chaired by Barrister Aminu Hussain, the Governor’s Special Adviser on Justice and Constitutional Matters.

Other members of the panel include Barrister Hamza Haladu, Barrister Hamza Nuhu Dantani, Alhaji Abdullahi Mahmoud Umar, retired Major General Sani Muhammad, Comrade Kabiru Said Dakata, and Hajiya Bilkisu Maimota, who will serve as secretary.

The committee has been tasked with uncovering the full circumstances surrounding the case and recommending necessary actions to the government.

Governor Yusuf emphasized that the investigation must be carried out without delay and with complete transparency.

Expressing deep concern over the allegations, the Governor reiterated his administration’s firm stance against drug trafficking and all forms of social vices in Kano State.

He assured the public that anyone found culpable, regardless of status or position, will face the full weight of the law.

The probe underscores the Governor’s resolve to maintain accountability and uphold the integrity of public service in the state.
