In what can be described as an unprecedented drama, the Department of State Services has arrested the Kano state governorship candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, Abba Yusuf, on the order of Aisha Bishi. She is the wife of the director-general of the DSS, Yusuf Bichi.
She reportedly ordered the arrest following a confrontation between the duo at the VIP lounge gate of the Aminu Kano International Airport on Sunday night, Daily Nigerian reports.
The governorship candidate’s convoy was said to have caused traffic congestion which prevented Bichi’s convoy from gaining access to the VIP lounge.

It led to a confrontation between Yusuf and Bichi, following an exchange of angry words between them.
Bichi was said to have ensured that Yusuf was barred from boarding an Air Peace flight heading for Abuja before he was arrested.
A source said:
“The DSS DG’s wife actually ordered the arrest of the Kano governorship candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Abba Yusuf, and barred him from boarding an Air Peace flight from Kano to Abuja on the fateful Sunday night.
“The trouble started at the gate of the VIP lounge of the Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano when the motorcade of the politician caused traffic which delayed Bichi’s convoy from gaining entry into the controlled area.
“The action really angered Bichi as her security guards started beating up people and hitting vehicles for blocking the VIP gate."
