Kano Commissioner Involved In Bail of Drug Baron Resigns
The Kano State Commissioner for Transportation, Alhaji Ibrahim Ali Namadi, who was involved in the bail of a notorious drug baron, Sulaiman Aminu Danwawu. has resigned.
In a letter addressed to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, Namadi said his resignation was in the overriding public interest.
“As a member of an administration that has consistently championed the fight against the sales and consumption of illicit drugs, it behoves me to take this step—painful as it may be.
”While I maintain my innocence, I cannot ignore the weight of public perception and the need to protect the values we have collectively built,” he stated.
“I must, as a good citizen, strive to protect, preserve, and uphold the trust and vision we have worked so hard to instil in our dear state. I remain loyal to the ideals that brought this administration into office.”
The Governor had accepted the resignation and wished the former Commissioner success in his future endeavours. It is however not certain if the government would take further action against Namadi based on the recommendation of the committee it set up to investigate him.
