Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf has sacked the Commissioner for Lands, Adamu Aliyu, over “unguarded” comments.
Gatekeepers News reports that Aliyu had threatened tribunal judges in the State, asking them to choose between money or their lives over claims that the judges had been bribed.
In a statement on Friday, the Commissioner for Information, Baba Dantiye, told reporters at the Kano State Government House that Governor Yusuf respects and takes the judiciary in high esteem and would not condone any disrespect to them.
The governor sacked his Special Advisor on Youth and Sports, Aliyu Yusuf.
The sack comes a day after Aliyu promised to unleash mayhem on residents of the state, one worse than what residents of neighboring Kaduna and Zamfara are going through.
Aliyu while addressing New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) members on Thursday, said, “Any judge that allows himself to be used and collect bribes and pass judgment that is not right, we want to tell him he must choose between his life and the bribe money he collected.”
“You have seen the conflict (banditry) in Zamfara, Kaduna, and Katsina,” he warned. “I swear because of this governorship seat, everyone will die. The conflict that will start in Kano will be deadlier than the ones in those states and Borno.”
