The Police in Kano have arrested three people, including an orderly of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s second wife, Zainab Kwankwaso, who allegedly disappeared from her matrimonial home to her father’s house in Abuja.

Reports allege that Zainab, the daughter of Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, had disappeared from the Kano government house without the knowledge of her orderlies or husband.

Sources claim there had been an alleged running battle in the Yusuf household, with Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso’s niece, Zainab Dahiru Kwankwaso, his late elder brother’s daughter, seeking divorce from her husband.

Following her disappearance from home, the Kano Police Commissioner, Dr Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, has since swung into action to investigate how Zainab was smuggled out of Government House to Abuja.

All efforts to speak to Kwankwaso or his aides for details of the development proved abortive.
