NSA Ribadu Distances Self From Kano Emir’s Imbroglio

The National Security Adviser (NSA), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu has disassociated himself or his office from the ongoing crisis in Kano Emirate.

The NSA has been alleged to be assisting the dethroned Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado-Bayero, in returning to Kano on Saturday.

The Deputy Governor of Kano State, Aminu Abdulsalam, has alleged that Ribadu arranged for two aircraft to transport Ado-Bayero back to the city at 4:30 a.m. on Saturday.

Zakari Mijinyawa, the spokesman from the office of the NSA, refuted the claim, stating that it was false.

He said, “I read the comments on social media, it is untrue. The NSA did not provide air transport to anyone to Kano.

“Political actors should desist from misinforming the public as law enforcement officials in the state strive to maintain peace and order.”
