Fresh allegations have rocked the Kano State Government as the Commissioner for Transport, Ibrahim Namadi, has been accused of receiving a $30,000 bribe to stand as surety for a suspected drug trafficker currently facing trial at the Federal High Court in Kano.
The embattled commissioner is alleged to have facilitated the release of Sulaiman Danwawu, a notorious drug suspect, by fulfilling the court’s ₦8 million bail condition in exchange for the bribe. According to findings by the State Security Service (SSS), Namadi not only stood as surety for Danwawu but did so despite warnings from the state’s security council, which had earlier identified Danwawu as a threat in the fight against drug trafficking in Kano.
