Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has received the report of the committee investigating the role of the Commissioner for Transport, Ibrahim Namadi, in securing bail for suspected drug trafficker, Sulaiman Aminu Danwawu.
The Independent Mirror reports that the investigative panel, chaired by Barrister Aminu Hussain, submitted its findings on Monday to the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Alhaji Umar Farouk Ibrahim.
Barrister Hussain, who is also the Governor’s Special Adviser on Justice and Constitutional Matters, said the committee interviewed all persons involved, including the commissioner, who submitted a written statement.
Others questioned included Abubakar Umar Sharada, Senior Special Assistant on Political Mobilisation, and Musa Ado Tsamiya, SSA on Drainages.
“We consulted security and legal bodies such as the SSS, NDLEA, and the NBA to ensure our report was grounded in facts and law,” Hussain said.
“There was no interference from the Governor. We were allowed to work freely and fairly,” he added.
The committee also reviewed certified legal documents related to the case.
While receiving the report, the SSG said: “You have done your work diligently and within the time given. I assure you that the report will be on the Governor’s desk within the hour for immediate review.”
Governor Yusuf, in a short statement, said the government would act promptly on the committee’s findings.
