Police arrest three over Gov Yusuf’s wife’s disappearance

The Kano State Police Command has arrested three persons, including an orderly attached to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s second wife, Zainab Kwankwaso, over her reported disappearance from the Government House.

Zainab, a daughter of former Kano State Governor and Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, was reportedly taken from her matrimonial home in Kano to her father’s residence in Abuja without the knowledge of her husband or her assigned security aides.

The arrests followed an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her departure from the Kano Government House, with police reportedly seeking to establish how she was moved to Abuja.

Sources disclosed that the incident occurred amid alleged marital disagreements between Zainab and Governor Yusuf, with reports indicating that she was seeking to end the marriage.

The Kano State Commissioner of Police, Dr Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, was said to have intervened in the matter and ordered an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her departure.

The investigation is expected to establish the roles, if any, played by the arrested suspects in her movement from Kano to Abuja.

However, the police have yet to publicly clarify the circumstances of the reported disappearance or confirm the allegations surrounding the arrests.
