DSS Releases 4 Kano Governor Aides On Bail Over Kwankwasiyya Petition.
Four aides of Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, including his spokesperson Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, have been released on bail by the Department of State Services (DSS) following a petition filed by the Kwankwasiyya Movement.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
reports that the aides were reportedly detained by the Kano DSS command for about four hours before being granted bail on self-recognition.
Dawakin Tofa confirmed the development in a Facebook post, saying he was held alongside Salisu Yahaya Hotoro, Ibrahim Adam, and Nuhu Dambazau.
He added that the Kwankwasiyya Movement is expected to pursue the matter in court, with arraignment scheduled for Tuesday.
The governor’s spokesperson claimed his inclusion in the petition was linked to a song he commissioned from APC praise singer Dauda Kahutu, popularly known as Rarara, which allegedly contained indirect jabs at former Kano governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
He admitted he initially did not fully understand the seriousness of the issue but expressed willingness to meet Kwankwaso and apologise before the court proceedings.
Although the Kwankwasiyya Movement said it was behind the petition, Dawakin Tofa insisted that Kwankwaso himself initiated the complaint.
One of the detained aides, Salisu Hotoro, who is also Kano APC Youth Leader, said they were not the only ones accused of online attacks, alleging that supporters of the Kwankwasiyya Movement also engage in cyberbullying.
The Kwankwasiyya Movement had earlier petitioned the DSS over alleged cybercrime, intimidation, and defamation targeting its leaders, including Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, former Deputy Governor Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, Senator Rufai Sani Hanga, and Muhammad Samir Hanga.
The incident comes amid rising political tension between Governor Yusuf and his former mentor Kwankwaso, with both camps increasingly trading accusations online.

A heated political exchange has erupted within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential race, as camps backing former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s rivals push back against his claims of superior popularity, especially in the North.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Supporters of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso rejected Atiku’s assertion that he remains the dominant northern vote-getter, insisting that such claims do not reflect today’s political realities.
The Kwankwasiyya Movement, aligned with a potential Obi-Kwankwaso ticket, dismissed Atiku’s influence in the North as largely elite-driven, arguing that Kwankwaso enjoys more genuine grassroots support.
Former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi also reacted, faulting Atiku’s position and questioning the logic of relying solely on regional identity as a basis for presidential ambition.
Atiku, in a recent interview, had maintained that none of his northern rivals, including Kwankwaso, can match his electoral strength, while downplaying Kwankwaso’s influence beyond Kano State.
His remarks sparked criticism across political circles, with some opposition figures describing them as arrogant and dismissive of other contenders.
Kwankwaso’s camp, however, maintained that both Kwankwaso and Obi have more “organic” support bases compared to politically induced followership, warning that such comments could deepen divisions within the ADC coalition.
Amaechi also argued that the ADC presidential ticket should be determined through a competitive primary rather than consensus, insisting that all aspirants should be tested at the ballot.
The growing disagreement highlights rising tension within the opposition alliance ahead of the 2027 general elections, as key figures intensify positioning for the party’s presidential ticket.
