Salihu Tanko, one of the media aides of Governor Abdullahi
Ganduje of Kano State, is currently in detention, according to his father.
Tanko Yakasai, Salihu’s father, said that his
son is currently being detained by
security operatives.
He said he is not sure of the location where his son is
being held but he is certain that security operatives are the ones holding him.
“Alhamdulillahi we just confirmed @dawisu is at DSS office,”
the official tweeted.

“@dawisu was arrested and taken to Abuja from kano. #FreeDawisu now!,” another friend said.
This comes less than 24 hours after Salihu criticised the
All Progressives Congress (APC) government at all levels over widespread
abductions.
When the news broke that some female students had been
abducted in Zamfara, Salihu wondered why the government could not protect
lives.
“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,” he had
tweeted.
Peter Afunanya, spokesman of the DSS, is yet to comment on
the development.
This is not the first time Tanko-Yakasai has criticised the
President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.
Last year, Ganduje suspended him for criticising Buhari.
At the height of the demonstrations against police brutality
in October, Ganduje’s aide asked the president to address the country over
calls to disband the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) at the time.
“To speak to ur own ppl over issues that are bedevilling
them has become something like a favour u’re doing to them. Over & over
again, u cannot spare 5mins & address the nation to calm them down, the
same people u went to the 36 states to beg for their votes, its heartbreaking,”
Tanko-Yakasai wrote on Twitter.
He was later reinstated.
