An investigative committee established by Kano State Governor, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, to probe the State Commissioner for Transport, Ibrahim Namadi, over surety for the bail condition of an alleged notorious drug baron, Sulaiman Aminu Danwawu. has submitted its report to the government.
Presenting the report on Monday, to the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Umar Farouk Ibrahim and the Chairman of the Committee and Special Adviser to the Governor on Justice and Constitutional Matters, Aminu Hussain, said the panel conducted a thorough, impartial, and evidence-based investigation into the matter.
“We engaged and interviewed the Commissioner, who submitted a written statement. We also interviewed other key persons linked to the case, including Abubakar Umar Sharada, Senior Special Assistant on Political Mobilisation, and Musa Ado Tsamiya, SSA on Drainages,” Hussain stated.
Hussain explained that the committee consulted relevant security and legal bodies, including the State Security Service, SSS, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, and the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, to ensure the integrity and comprehensiveness of the report.
“We examined certified true copies (CTCs) of all relevant documents and thoroughly reviewed applicable laws. Our work was guided by due diligence, objectivity, and strict adherence to professional standards,” he added.
Similarly, the committee chairman, Hussain, lauded Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf for his non-interference throughout the assignment, describing the governor’s hands-off approach as a demonstration of true leadership and respect for due process.
“We had cause to appreciate His Excellency for allowing the committee to operate independently, which gave us the confidence to carry out our duty without fear or favour,” he said.
Receiving the report on behalf of the state government, the SSG expressed appreciation for the committee’s diligence and professionalism.
“Let me extend our profound gratitude to the chairman and members of the committee for your commitment and perseverance in handling a matter that has drawn significant public interest,” said Alhaji Farouk.
