A 23-year-old woman, Fiddausi Ahmadu, has been arrested by the Department of State Security (DSS) for allegedly threatening to kill herself and the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Kano State, Nasiru Gawuna, over the verdict of the election tribunal.
Recall that on Wednesday, September 20; the tribunal declared Gawuna the winner of the Kano State governorship elections held on Saturday, March 18.
How Gawuna defeated Gov Yusuf at election tribunal
At the ruling of the election tribunal, which was declared virtually, the electoral commission was ordered to revoke the certificate of return given to Governor Abba Yusuf of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) and hand it over to APC’s Gawuna.

The court deducted 165,663 votes from Gov Yusuf's total as invalid, stating that the ballot papers (165,663) were not stamped or signed and declared null.
This decision led to a series of outrages, which led to the 23-year-old woman threatening to kill anyone responsible for the victory of Gawuna at the tribunal in a viral video clip circulated in Kano.
According to Leadership, the woman spoke in Hausa in the clip, stating that she wouldn’t mind holding herself with a bomb alongside the tribunal judge to commit suicide.
In the clip, she was heard saying:
“You dare not indicate your location, otherwise, I don’t mind striking you with a bomb vest to commit suicide.”
