Former Katsina Governor Ibrahim Shema has
accused the incumbent Governor, Aminu Masari of master minding last
Tuesday's foiled planned abduction attempt at the premises of Katsina High
Court.
He described it as an ongoing
witch-hunt and intimidation using state and federal institutions.
However, Masari was quick to distance himself
from the purported planned abduction by advising the former governor to bear
and carry his cross and stop looking for scape goat.
Reacting to the allegations, Masari through
his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Abdu Labaran waved the allegation saying
that Masari has no hands whatsoever in the ongoing travails of Shema.
"if I remember well there was a time
Shema went on air challenging and daring Masari to take him to court and now
that the judicial process is taking its course, Shema is now blaming
Masari in a situation Masari has no control or knowledge of" he said
Shema should bear his cross or look for other
scape goats but not governor Masari, he added.
Recall that Operatives of The Economic and
Financial Crime Commission EFCC had last Tuesday barricaded the main exit of
Katsina High Court before whisking away the former governor Ibrahim Shema
out of court premises.
Shema is standing trial before
Justice Maikaita Bako alongside three others; Rufai Safana, Sani Makana, Lawal
Dankaba on 22 count charge bordering on alleged financial misdemeanor of
about N11b
