A Kano based lawyer, Barrister S. S Umar, described the arrest of former aide of Kano State Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has alleged that, as a move to serve the interest of political elites in the state.
He Said that, the statement that led to the arrest of the Salihu Tanko Yakasai, had been previously said by many prominent Nigerians.
“The arrest is illegal and lack vision and has portrayed how directionless the DSS is, it is highly unfortunate that we still have such problems in Nigeria.”
S. S Umar lamented that, this has indicated that Nigeria is fast moving into anarchy if a citizen cannot publically express his personal opinion.

Responding to the DSS statement that Tanko Yakasai is being investigated beyond his social media comment, the lawyer said that, “there should have let the public know the reason behind the arrest.”
He argued that, the DSS should by now bury their head in shame, for arresting a law abiding citizen, instead of focusing their attention on bandit and kidnappers that are killing innocent citizens almost every day.
