THE Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) has denied accusations that NSA Nuhu Ribadu assisted the return of Kano’s dethroned Emir, Aminu Ado Bayero, to the historic city today.
The NSA’s spokeswoman, Zakari Mijinyawa, described such claim as fake.
Mijinyawa, speaking in Abuja, was responding to the state’s Deputy Governor, Aminu Gwarzo, who accused the NSA of enabling the return of the deposed emir.
Earlier, the deputy governor stated that the law was clear on the process for coronating an emir and that “nobody has any right to interfere or impose anyone on Kano people.”
He had accused Ribadu of “using security” to terrorise the citizens of the state.
However, the NSA, through his spokeswoman, confirmed unequivocally that the office of the NSA did not provide the aircraft that returned Ado Bayero to the state.
Ado Bayero returned to the state earlier today, 48 hours after being dethroned by Governor Abba Kabir and replaced by Muhammadu Sanusi II.
