To ensure a comprehensive investigation, the committee consulted with various security and legal bodies, including the State Security Service (SSS), the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), and the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).
“We examined certified true copies (CTCs) of all relevant documents and carefully reviewed applicable laws. Our investigation was guided by due diligence, objectivity, and strict adherence to professional standards,” Hussain said.
Hussain praised Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf for his non-interference, which he said allowed the committee to work “independently… without fear or favour.”
Upon receiving the report, the SSG thanked the committee for its diligence and professionalism, noting that the matter had drawn “significant public interest.” Alhaji Farouk assured the committee that the report would be forwarded to the governor for review and appropriate action “within the hour.” The government is expected to study the findings and take action based on its recommendations.
