Governor Dikko Umar Radda's aide, Hassan Bello, has returned to his position in Katsina State, Nigeria, according to sources familiar with the situation. This comes after the ADC and the Chief Security Officer (CSO) were invited to the police high command in Abuja last week over alleged destruction of campaign billboards in the state capital.
The conflict arose between the Governor and the Special Adviser to the President on political matters, Ibrahim Masari. However, the CSO has yet to be seen within the governor's security team, raising questions about his current status. The Nigeria Police Force clarified that the officers were invited for questioning but not arrested or detained.
Despite the invitation, the CSO's absence has sparked speculation and tension ahead of the 2027 general elections, as people perceive the disagreement as a struggle for political power. As of August 27, neither the Katsina State Government nor the police have issued a clear official statement on the CSO's whereabouts or future status.
