The Chairman of the Kano State Inter-Agency Task Force on Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, Muhuyi Rimin-Gado, has warned politicians against mounting pressure on the committee to secure the release of suspected thugs or drug offenders arrested during its operations.
Speaking on Tuesday during a strategic meeting with media executives and journalists in Kano, Rimin-Gado said the task force would carry out its mandate without fear or favour, insisting that no individual, regardless of political status, would influence its operations.
He said, “No politician should approach me to release any thug if we arrest him. This is Kano, and we are all indigenes of the state. We will not allow a few people to destroy its future.
“The only person who can ask me to release anybody is the Governor. If he does so, it simply means he is indirectly asking me to resign.”
