Kano State Police Command says it has arrested Tasiu Al'amin-Roba, a Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the Cabinet Office, and one Abdulkadir Muhammad for alleged diversion of the state's palliatives.
In a phone interview on Sunday, the Commissioner of Police, Hussaini Gumel, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the suspects were apprehended at a warehouse in Sharada with over 200 empty bags.
He said that the suspects were repackaging rice and maize at the Sharada warehouse.
