Former media aide to the governor of Kano, Salihu Tanko Yakasai has been released from the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).
According to the TheCable, Yakasai was released from DSS custody on Monday evening.

Yakasai, who was sacked on Saturday by the Governor of Kano, Abdullahi Ganduje, had called on the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration to resign from office, because of the abduction of more than 300 students from Government Girls Secondary School, Jangebe, Zamfara state.
“Clearly, we as [the] APC government, at all levels, have failed Nigerians in the number 1 duty we were elected to do which is to secure lives & properties.

Hours after the post, his whereabouts raised concern on social media, after which DSS spokesman, Peter Afunanya confirmed that the Yakasai was in the agency’s custody.
