Sagir Attahiru Bafarawa, son of Attahiru Bafarawa, a former governor of Sokoto State has reacted to reports that he has been arrested Special Tactical Squad from the office of the Inspector General of Police in connection with the ongoing investigations of his cousin Musa Kamarawa over his alleged involvement in armed banditry saying such reports were not true.
“To keep the records straight, there is no such arrest or any thing related to that and I have nothing to do with banditry. As you can see, I am still in my family healthy and free doing my daily activities,” Sagir said in a statement issued on Saturday.
Describing the report of his purported arrest as mischievous, malicious, fabricated and misleading, Sagir who is a serving commissioner in Sokoto State said the report is the work of mischief makers.
“The report, which is already going viral on various media handles and platforms, is totally the work of mischief-makers to tarnish my image and to incite the general public against me.”
“ I, therefore, call on the good people of the Sokoto State and Nigeria to disregard the report and It is obvious that criminal elements have decided to come out with the fake report.”
“The report is meant to divert the attention of the security and that of the general public.”
Sagir stated that the security had to go on a full-scale investigation into the matter with the aim of bringing those behind the fake report to book.
