BEVERLY HILLs, February 27, (THEWILL) – The Department of State Services (DSS) has denied arresting Salihu Tanko-Yakasai, a media aide of Kano State’s Governor Abdullahi Ganduje for demanding President Buhari’s resignation over the failure to tackle insecurity in the country.
He was allegedly arrested on Saturday after demanding Buhari’s resignation over the failure of his government to arrest widespread abductions in the country.
But reacting to the alleged arrest, the DSS State Director, Muhammad Alhassan said, “We have not arrested or even invited Salihu, don’t forget he is our friend, sometimes, he advises us on issues of critical Security situations in Kano”.
Salihu’s father, Tanko Yakasai, who confirmed his son’s arrest, said he was being detained by security operatives.
He was not sure of the location where his son is being held but was certain that security operatives were the ones holding him.
Salihu criticised the Buhari government when news broke that 317 schoolgirls of Government Girls School were abducted on Friday.
He called on the President Buhari-led government to either deal with bandits in the country or resign.
