The Kano State Police Command has arrested Tasiu Al’amin-Roba, a Senior Special Assistant to Governor Abba Yusuf, and one Abdulkadir Muhammad for alleged diversion of the state’s palliatives.
The Commissioner of Police, Hussaini Gumel, told the News Agency of Nigeria in an interview on Sunday, December 3, that the suspects were arrested at a warehouse at Sharada with over 200 empty bags.
The CP said that the suspects were reportedly repackaging the rice and maize at the warehouse in the area.
“We have since commenced intensive investigation to find out how many bags of maize or rice were repackaged and sold,” he said.
Gumel added that the two suspects would be charged in court after the conclusion of discreet investigations.
