Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has accused the commissioner of police, Muhammed Wakili, of unprofessionalism in carrying out his duties.
Wakili was in the news on March 11 when he arrested the state deputy governor, Nasiru Gawuna, and commissioner for local government, Sule Garo, over alleged threat to public peace.
The duo had attempted to disrupt collation of election results at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) collation centre in Kano.
However, in an interview with BBC Hausa Service, Ganduje criticised Wakili, saying he had no right to arrest his deputy.
“I didn’t know him before now but the way he does his job is questionable. He has taken and favoured a particular political side, which is uncalled for and translates to mishandling his job,” Ganduje said.
The police later said the deputy governor was saved from being mauled by supporters of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate.
