The Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) has firmly denied allegations that NSA Nuhu Ribadu facilitated the return of the dethroned Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, to the city on Saturday morning.
Recalled that Aminu Abdulsalam, the Deputy governor of Kano State, had alleged that Nuhu Ribadu provided two aircraft for Aminu Ado Bayero’s return to Kano at 4:30 am on Saturday.
“The National Security Adviser provided two jets to bring the dethroned emir back to Kano and to the palace,” claimed the Deputy Governor.
However, in an interview with PREMIUM TIMES, Zakari Mijinyawa, the spokesperson for the NSA’s office, refuted this claim.

He categorically stated that Nuhu Ribadu did not supply the aircraft used to transport Aminu Ado Bayero to Kano.
Mijinyawa cautioned politicians to exercise restraint in their statements, emphasizing that irresponsible remarks could undermine the efforts of security agencies striving to maintain peace in the state.
“I saw the comments circulating on social media, but they are false. The NSA did not provide any air transport to Kano,” Mijinyawa said. “Political actors should avoid spreading misinformation that could destabilize the state’s peace and order.”
