Police arrest three over Zainab Kwankwaso’s exit from Kano Government House

The Kano State Police Command has arrested three people, including the police orderly attached to Governor Abba Yusuf’s second wife, Zainab Kwankwaso, over her reported departure from the Government House to Abuja.

According to DAILY POST, Zainab, daughter of former Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, reportedly left her matrimonial home in Kano for her father’s residence without the knowledge of her husband or security escorts.

The arrests followed an investigation launched by the state Commissioner of Police, Dr Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, to establish how she left the Government House without the knowledge of those assigned to protect her.

Sources quoted in the report said there had been a prolonged crisis in the governor’s household, with Zainab reportedly seeking to end her marriage to Yusuf.

The development comes amid reports that she has filed for divorce at an Abuja court, offering to refund the dowry paid by the governor during their wedding.

DAILY POST added that efforts to reach Kwankwaso or his aides for comments were unsuccessful.
