Kano: I hid in Government House to avoid arrest – Bature

 

The director general of Media and Communication to Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano state, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, has  recounted how he sought refuge in the Kano state Government House for 5 days to avoid being arrested by the police.

Speaking weekend during the PR Nigeria Young Communication Fellowship in Kano, Bature stated that about 40 officers from the Inspector General of Police’s (IGP) monitoring team had been deployed to Kano six days earlier with the sole aim of arresting him.

“For the last five days, I have been in the Government House and could not come out,” he said.

“The nature of Kano politics is such that there is a fight you can even describe as a federal versus state fight. At some point, I have almost been behind everything of that nature. So, there was this petition against me, and nobody is handling the petition but the IGP himself.”
