The Zamfara State government has debunked reports that controversial terrorist, Bashir Hadejia, was appointed as the Technical Adviser on mining to Gov Dauda Lawal.
Hadejia was arrested on Monday
last week over alleged treason and subversion against the state.
A letter, dated October 27,
2023, purportedly signed by the Secretary to the Zamfara State Government, Mal
Abubakar M. Nakwada, alleging that the state government offered an appointment
to the suspected gunrunner made rounds online.
The letter alleged that Hadejia
was appointed as the Technical Adviser, Mining under the office of the state.
Reacting to the purported
appointment, the Zamfara State government, in a statement issued by the Senior
Special Assistant on Media, office of the secretary to the state government,
Suleman Ahmad Tudu, described the letter in circulation as fake and attempted
to mislead the public.
Tudu said Governor Daudu Lawal did not offer any appointment to Hadejia, and the purported appointment letter is aimed at smearing the image of his administration.
The statement read, “For the
records, Governor Lawal has not made any such appointment and Bashir Hadejia
has not been appointed to any position in the present government.
“This doctored document letter
is the handwork of mischief makers as part of their broader attempts to mislead
the public and smear the good image of Governor Lawal’s administration.”
