A founding member of Arewa Consultative Forum and elder
statesman, Alhaji Tanko Yakasai, has narrated how his son, Salihu TankoYakasai, was arrested by the operatives of the Department of State Services.
The younger Tanko Yakasai, who is the Special Adviser on
Media to Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, had criticised the President,
Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Friday over the spate of school
children abductions in the country.
Speaking with The PUNCH on Saturday, the father of the
governor’s aide said his son was arrested on Friday on his way to a barbing
saloon in Kano, the state capital.
When asked of his son’s whereabouts, the elder Tanko Yakasai
said, “Yes, Salihu is with the security operatives since yesterday (Friday). He
was arrested on his way to a barbing saloon. But I cannot confirm to you
whether he is here in Kano or somewhere else.”
Confirming his arrest, one of Ganduje’s aides on Twitter,
@sadeqhenry tweeted, “Alhamdulillahi we just confirmed @dawisu is at DSS
office.”
Recall that the arrested aide had called on the Buhari-led
regime to either deal with bandits in the country or resign.
The embattled media aide was sometimes in 2020 suspended
from office for several weeks after criticising Buhari over his failure to
tackle the security challenges bedeviling the country.
