Special Adviser on Media to Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, Salihu Tanko-Yakasai been reportedly detained by the Department of State Services.
Tanko Yakasai, Salihu’s father disclosed this to newsmen on Saturday. He however, said he doesn’t know where he is being held.
This comes hours after he criticised the President Buhari-led government in a tweet when news emerged of the abduction of over 300 Students in Zamfara State.
It could be recalled when news of the kidnap went viral, the aide took to Twitter and wrote, “Clearly, we as APC government, at all levels, have failed Nigerians in the number one duty we were elected to do which is to secure lives and properties. Not a single day goes by without some sort of insecurity in this land. This is a shame! Deal with terrorists decisively or resign.”
Also, it could be recalled that Yakasai was earlier suspended by Ganduje after his remark about Buhari during the #EndSars protest but was reinstated two weeks after.
As of the time of writing this report, security agencies are yet to react to the reports on the detention of Salihu.
