Former governor of Kano state, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau this morning at his Bompai residence, Kano, northwest Nigeria told reporters that he was never arrested by the State Security Services, SSS, insisting that his eight-year administration did not pay a dime to sponsor the dreaded Islamic sect, Boko Haram.

Ibrahim Shekarau, Kano State governor.

Shekarau who said he was embarrassed at reports over his arrest by the SSS, however, admitted that he made, “an informal visit” to the SSS headquarters, “to share information.”

According to him, his trip to Abuja last Monday was on a personal schedule to attend a meeting that lasted till 2 a.m. Tuesday.

The former governor who was also the presidential candidate of the All Nigerian Peoples Party, ANPP, said ordinarily, he would not have bordered to comment on any issue at a time when Kano is in a mourning mood.

Before his speech, he prayed for the repose of the souls of those who were killed during the Boko Haram offensive on Kano and urged God to give their relations the fortitude to bear the loss.

Shekarau refuted the allegation that his government was paying monthly allowances of N10 million to the Boko Haram sect via the Hisbah Board, describing the report as baseless and unfounded.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BREAKING NEWS! Malllam Shekarau hasn't been arrested by anybody. He just appeared on TV in Kano where refuted the story. He said traveled to Abuja for a chieftaincy  engagement and that's all. He attributed the rumor as the handiwork of enemies.  Sheath your swords.


YESTERDAY, HE SAID ON TV HE WAS NEVER AT SSS - ONLY IN ABUJA ATTENDING A CHIEFTAINCY ENGAGEMENT. AND TODAY HE SAID HE WAS THERE BRIEFLY ON HIS OWN FOR A CHAT. DOES ANYONE NEED FURTHER CONVINCING THIS LYING MOTHER-FU@%*R IS A BOKO HARAM KINGPIN RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE BLOODSHED ?

Whom should we believe??

Who is this guy deceiving? himself

Why is Jonathan and his Media/propaganda people playing with the emotions of Nigerians?!

This man is being economic with the truth. He was actually arrested but he has to save his Boko Face face with this calculated lie. Nonsense!

There is a difference between arrest and an invitation, Sahara reporters, please take note. Its not a must that you have to beat CNN to any news, rather get your facts right first

Do u expect a modified Almajaris to agree that he is sponsoring his disciplers?

i believe this man pass the other stories. if he was actually arrested for sponsoring boko haram, why will they release him in such a haste?

Former governor of Kano State, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau on Wednesday debunked reports that he was arrested by the State Security Services (SSS), saying that he never paid a kobo to sponsor the Boko Haram sect throughout his eight-year tenure.
Shekarau, who spoke to reporters in his residence, admitted that he made an informal visit to the SSS headquarters in Abuja ostensibly to share information.
Shekarau said his trip to Abuja last Monday was a personal one, adding that he attended a meeting that lasted until 2 a.m. Tuesday morning.
He described the report of his arrest by the SSS as embarrassing.
“Two days ago, precisely on Monday, I departed Kano in the afternoon for Abuja to attend a meeting in the evening which lasted until 2 a.m on Tuesday. My schedule the following morning (Tuesday) was to pay a condolence visit to the acting Inspector -General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar.
“An officer met me and said they have seen the advertorial that put the record straight over the allegation that I was paying allowances to Boko Haram during my administration as governor of Kano State.
“Like I always do, I visited security agencies like the Police and SSS to share information. Immediately I finished my condolence visit to the IGP, I drove straight to the SSS office to honour an informal invitation by an officer who ran into me in Abuja.
“I even called and asked them to ease the road blocks so that I can finish the discussions on time and catch an IRS flight made to take off by 4 p.m.
“I joined the officer and we had a very friendly discussion. He saw me off and I drove straight to the airport. I was at the presidential lodge at about 3 p.m enjoying my small cup of tea when my aide called and said he read on AIT footnote that I have been arrested.
I was seriously embarrassed. Immediately, I called the SSS officer and asked if there was a game. How can a friendly visit based on mutual understanding suddenly turned into international news?”

Here we go again

Let him keep deceiving himself.
