During an interview, Garba who
identified himself as a member of a vigilante group, said to the best of his
knowledge Sani is not involved in the case.
He said some soldiers took him to
a farm located along Kaduna- Abuja road and threatened to kill him if he did
not accept to implicate Sani as the man who hired people to kill one Lawan
Maiduna.
The letter was addressed to the lawmaker by
Kaduna commissioner of police inviting him for questioning over “criminal
conspiracy and culpable homicide”.
The case was said to have been
transferred to the police by one division of the Nigerian army in Kaduna.
Sani had denied involvement,
saying there was a plot to frame him for murder.
Garba, while speaking to TheCable
in Hausa, alleged that the military insisted that he must claim that Sani gave
Hamdada money to kill Maiduna.
The 46-year-old man said his life
is under threat because he refused to implicate the lawmaker.
Here is the translation of what
he said:
I was away from Kaduna but
military invited me to come over and identify some persons who were arrested
over the alleged murder of the said person. Immediately I got there, the
military began to torture me and insisted that I must mention Shehu Sani as the
person who sponsored the murder.
I never knew Bashir Hamdada, let
alone the matter at all. But, I was tortured and forced to make a statement to
implicate the senator in the alleged murder. I spent two weeks facing a series
of torture under the military before I was taken to Kaduna state CID.
At Kaduna police CID, I spent a
month and was later taken to prison. Luckily, I was granted bail… I was accused
without any evidence. I can swear to God
that Shehu Sani doesn’t know me. Even if he passes here today, he does not know
what I look like yet they insisted that I must implicate him. Soldiers and some
policemen have dealt with me seriously over this issue… I have seen hell in in
their attempt to coerce me to implicate Senator Sani.
