The Department of State Services (DSS) has confirmed that Salihu Tanko-Yakasai, former aide to Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of Kano, is in its custody.

Peter Afunanya, DSS spokesman, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday evening.

“This is to confirm that Salihu Tanko-Yakasai is with the Department of State Services. He is being investigated over issues beyond the expression of opinions in the social media as wrongly alleged by sections of the public,” the statement reads.

There have been concerns over the whereabouts of Yakasai who disappeared on Friday evening in Kano hours after he tweeted that the regime of the President, Muhammadu Buhari, should secure Nigerians or resign.

Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, on Saturday sacked Yakasai for criticising the All Progressives Congress and the Buhari regime over the growing insecurity in the country.

Until his sacking, Yakasai, son of elder statesman, Tanko Yakasai, was Ganduje’s Special Adviser on Media.
