The Kano Police command has confirmed the arrest of Sani Madakin Gini, who was elected under the platform of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, for unlawful possession of firearms.
The arrest was confirmed by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Kano Command, Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, who stated that the lawmaker is under investigation.
The Kano State Police, through the PPRO, said, “We can confirm that Honourable Sani Madakin Gini has been arrested for unlawful possession of firearms.” “He is currently in our custody and undergoing investigation.”
He added that the police would not relent to ensure that the law is upheld and that everyone, irrespective of their status or position, is held accountable for their actions.
Although some citizens have expressed shock over the incident, others have called on the authorities to ensure justice is served and that anyone found guilty is brought to book.
Recall that Nigerian Tribune reported that a Kano Magistrate Court on Wednesday ordered the House of Representatives Majority Leader, Alhassan Ado Doguwa, to be remanded at Goron-Dutse correctional centre pending his bail application.
