Kano rerun: ‘No serving commissioner arrested’

Kano State Commissioner of Information, Malam Muhammad Garba has debunked rumours being circulated on the social media that the police has arrested a serving commissioner in the state during today’s re-run elections.

He said these negative, false and disturbing reports were nothing but propaganda designed and perpetrated to discredit the conduct of the re-run elections in the affected areas as they sense clear defeat.

He said the elections were conducted peacefully and smoothly, adding that there was no any infringement of law or wrong doing from the government side as alleged and mischievous spread by the PDP.

Garba therefore called on Kano citizens to disregard these fake news and propaganda and remain calm as collation of results continued.

However Daily Trust correspondents observed that some polling units were marred with violence.
