The Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) has denied allegations that NSA Nuhu Ribadu facilitated the return of the dethroned Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero on Saturday.
Zakari Mijinyawa, spokesperson for the NSA, described the claims as false, responding to accusations made by the state Deputy Governor, Aminu Gwarzo. Gwarzo had alleged that the NSA had a hand in the emir’s return, stating that the law clearly outlines the process for the coronation of an emir and emphasizing that “nobody has any right to interfere or enforce anyone on Kano people.”
Gwarzo accused Ribadu of “using security” to intimidate the people of Kano State. However, Mijinyawa firmly stated that the office of the NSA did not provide the aircraft that returned Ado Bayero to the state.
Ado Bayero’s return to Kano occurred early Saturday, just 48 hours after he was dethroned by Governor Abba Kabir and replaced with Muhammadu Sanusi II.
The NSA’s office has reiterated that it played no role in the transportation or facilitation of Ado Bayero’s return, seeking to clear any misconceptions regarding its involvement in the matter.
