Governor Kabir Abba Yusuf of Kano State has terminated the appointment of two Senior Special Assistants (SSA) following reports from investigative committees probing separate cases of misconduct.

The termination which is immediate was disclosed in a statement issued on Saturday by the Secretary to the State Government, Umar Ibrahim.

The statement read, “The governor approved the dismissal of Abubakar Umar Sharada, Senior Special Assistant on Political Mobilisation, after a Special Investigative Committee indicted him as the mastermind of the bail of a dangerous drug baron, Sulaiman Aminu Danwawu.”

Sharada’s “culpability in the controversial bail process” was confirmed “through the personal testimony he deposited before the committee.”

Governor Yusuf directed Sharada “to hand over all government property in his possession to the Permanent Secretary, Research, Evaluation and Political Affairs (REPA), Office of the SSG, on or before the close of work on Monday, August 11, 2025.”

The former aide was also warned against parading himself as a public officer under the present administration.

Also, the Governor sacked Tasiu Adamu Al’amin Roba, Senior Special Assistant, Cabinet Office, after his arrest for re-bagging palliative grains at a warehouse in Sharada in 2024.

According to the statement, Roba has since been arraigned in court and is facing charges of theft and criminal conspiracy for allegedly diverting public assets.

Yusuf ordered Roba to hand over all government properties in his possession, including his ID card, on or before Monday, 11th August 2025, and “cautioned against parading himself as a public official under the current administration.”
