The former governor of Kano State,
Ibrahim Shekarau, who was
rumoured to have been arrested by
the State Security Service, SSS, has
arrived Kano State. He arrived at about 4:55 p.m. via IRS
airline from Abuja, Nigeria’s capital. His image maker, Mallam Suleyau Sule,
described the rumour that he has links
with the Boko Haram sect as baseless
and the handiwork of the enemies of
the ex-governor. Though he declined to say whether
Shekarau was invited by the SSS, he
insisted that the rumour making the
rounds was not true. “You can see it yourself that His
Excellency, the Sardauna Kano was
not arrested. You can see that he is
now back in Kano and he is moving
straight to his house. I want to tell you
that all these rumours are the handiwork of politicians looking for
cheap publicity,” Sule said.
