Legit.ng recalls that Governor Ganduje had sacked Yakasai for making a statement termed critical to the President Buhari's administration.
His sack was announced by the state commissioner for information, Malam Muhammad Garba, on Saturday, February 27.
Hours after Yakasai was declared missing DSS confirmed his arrest and detainment in a statement it released on Sunday, February 28.
DSS spokesperson, Peter Afunnanya, said the former media aide was arrested for more than expressing his personal opinion about the government.
