Gov Yusuf orders probe into commissioner’s role in drug baron’s release 
Gov. Abba Yusuf of Kano State has ordered an investigation into the alleged involvement of the State’s Commissioner for Transport, Alhaji Ibrahim Namadi, in the controversial bail of a suspected drug baron, Sulaiman Aminu Dan Wawu.
The directive follows widespread public outrage after reports emerged that the commissioner’s name appeared in official documents facilitating the suspect’s release.
This is contained in a statement issued on Saturday by the spokesperson for the governor, Malam Sanusi Bature in Kano.
Bature said the Governor had set up a seven-man special investigative committee to be chaired by Barrister Aminu Hussain, Special Adviser on Justice and Constitutional Matters.
He said that the committee was mandated to unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident and recommend appropriate actions with immediate effect.
“Members of the committee include Barr. Aminu Hussain as the chairman and Hajiya Bilkisu Maimota as the secretary, while Barr. Hamza Haladu, Barr. Hamza Nuhu Dantani, Alhaji Abdullahi Mahmoud Umar, Maj. Gen. Sani Muhammad (Rtd.), and Comrade Kabiru Said Dakata were to serve as members, respectively.
“While announcing the formation of the committee, Governor Yusuf expressed serious concern over the alleged misconduct, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to the fight against drug abuse and any form of social vices in the state,” Bature said.
