The Department of State Services, DSS, has confirmed that the arrest of the Media Aide to Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano state, Salihu Yakasai is beyond the expression of opinion in the social media.
This is contained in a statement by the spokesperson of the Service, Dr Peter Afunanya, on Sunday.
“This is to confirm that Salihu Tanko-Yakasai is with the DSS and he is being investigated over issues beyond the expression of opinions in the social media as wrongly alleged by sections of the public,’’ he stated.
The statement did not however say the real reasons for his arrest.
Ganduje, on Saturday, sacked the media adviser over alleged unguarded comments and utterances.
He said Tanko-Yakassai failed to differentiate between personal opinion and official stand on matters of public concern.
So, he said, he could not be allowed to continue to serve in a government he does not believe in.
