The National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, has threatened to file a defamation suit against the deputy governor of Kano State, Aminu Gwarzo.

The Deputy Governor had alleged that the NSA facilitated the return of the dethroned Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, by providing him with two private jets.

Although Ribadu has since denied the allegation, he is threatening to sue the deputy governor if he fails to retract the claim.

In a letter to the Deputy Governor from Aliyu & Musa Chambers, counsel to Ribadu, the NSA demanded an apology from the deputy governor which must be tendered within 24 hours

Counsel to the NSA equally wants the deputy governor to issue a public apology in five national dailies with wide national coverage and on popular online platforms as failure to do so, Ribadu will be compelled to seek redress in a court of law.
