Aisha Galadima, an ally of the former governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State, has been arrested by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS).
It was gathered that the female politician and member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna State, was arrested by security agents on Sunday, April 14.
The arrest was said to be related to a negative social media post about the incumbent state governor, Uba Sani.
According to sources, Galadima criticised Sani’s last comment against El-Rufai in a post on her Facebook page.
A neighbour said she was arrested in her community in the Tudun-Wada area of Kaduna on Sunday afternoon. Another friend stated that Galadima’s phone was switched off after the arrest.
However, the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Muhammad Lawal Shehu, said he was not aware of the arrest and directed inquiries about the matter to the DSS for further clarification.
“I’m not aware that a woman was arrested for posting a negative comment against His Excellency. In any case, you should direct your enquiries to the DSS, not the Kaduna State Government,” Shehu said.
