In a statement issued on Saturday, Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Alhaji Umar Farouk Ibrahim, said the decision was based on the findings of the committees set up to probe the cases.
Sharada Indicted Over Drug Baron Bail
Abubakar Umar Sharada, Senior Special Assistant on Political Mobilisation, was sacked after a Special Investigative Committee found him to be the “mastermind” behind securing bail for Sulaiman Aminu Danwawu, a suspected dangerous drug baron.
“The committee confirmed Sharada’s culpability through his own testimony, which established his direct involvement in the bail process,” Ibrahim stated.
Roba Dismissed Over Palliative Diversion
Similarly, Tasiu Adamu Al’amin Roba, Senior Special Assistant in the Cabinet Office, was relieved of his duties for allegedly rebagging palliative grains in 2024 at a warehouse in Sharada.
“Roba has been arraigned in court and faces charges of theft and criminal conspiracy for diverting public assets,” the SSG disclosed, adding that both dismissed aides must return all government property by Monday, August 11, 2025, and stop parading themselves as public officials.
One Aide Cleared
The Governor, however, cleared Hon. Musa Ado Tsamiya, Special Adviser on Drainages, after the investigative panel exonerated him of all allegations.
Governor Yusuf reaffirmed his administration’s zero tolerance for corruption, warning all appointees to uphold the highest standards of integrity.
“Our commitment to discipline, transparency, and zero tolerance for corruption is unwavering. Public officials must uphold the highest standards of integrity both in their official duties and private lives,” he said.
The government also cautioned the public against dealing with the sacked aides on official matters, warning that anyone who does so “does so at his or her own risk.”
