[JUST IN] Tanko-Yakasai In Our Custody, Says SSS

The Department of State Services (DSS) has confirmed that Salihu
Tanko-Yakasai, former aide to Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of Kano,
is in its custody.

Peter Afunanya, DSS spokesman, disclosed this in a statement on
Saturday evening.

“This is to confirm that Salihu Tanko-Yakasai is with the
Department of State Services. He is being investigated over issues
beyond the expression of opinions in the social media as wrongly
alleged by sections of the public,” the statement reads.

There have been concerns over the whereabouts of Yakasai who
disappeared on Friday evening in Kano hours after he tweeted that
the regime of the President, Muhammadu Buhari, should secure
Nigerians or resign.

Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, on Saturday sacked
Yakasai for criticising the All Progressives Congress and the
Buhari regime over the growing insecurity in the country.

Until his sacking, Yakasai, son of elder statesman, Tanko
Yakasai, was Ganduje’s Special Adviser on Media.
