CSOs demand immediate stop to harassment of Saida Saad by Kano Police –Full statement

September 19, 2020 Danlami Nmodu Featured, Project, Reports & Commentary, Security, Society News 0



HARASSMENT OF CITIZEN SAIDA SAAD BY THE KANO POLICE
On Wednesday, 16/9/20, about 5pm, Barrister Sa’ida Sa’ad was at her matrimonial home in Kaduna when a group of men and women in mufti banged on the house claiming they were policemen from Kano who had been sent to Kaduna to arrest her, take her to Kano for interrogation and prosecution for defamation against the Kano State Government.
They arrived in an unmarked bus and silver honda car. They were led by one ASP Zainab. Given the spate of kidnappings in the country and the fact that they had no arrest warrant, she refused to come out of the house and were eventually persuaded to leave.
Then yesterday, Friday afternoon at about 1.15 pm, when most men have gone to the mosque, a team of police came with an arrest warrant. They forced their way into the house asking for Sa’ida and intimidating the house hold, taking pictures of plate numbers of the cars in the house. Saida was not found in the house, so after sometime they left.
Sa’ida had many months ago at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic done a short audio clip saying the Kano Governor is trying to make money of the Covid-19 program which went viral and could not have sunk well with the governor or his supporters. Apparently, it is payback time for the Governor:
Barrister Sai’da Saad is willing and ready for any charges the Kano State Government might have as long as correct procedure is followed. We have a number of questions:

On what authority did these police personnel leave their jurisdiction, come to Kaduna to arrest her without a warrant?
Why do State Governors feel empowered to illegally use police officials to go to different States in the country to arrest their critics?
WE DEMAND AN IMMEDIATE STOP TO THE HARASSMENT OF BARRISTER SAI’DA SA’AD
