The Katsina Police Command on Sunday
dispelled rumour over the alleged murder of
Malam Ballo Isyaku, Principal of Government
College, Katsina, who released Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari's certificate.
The command's Public Relations Officer
(PPRO), DSP Aminu Sadiq, made the denial to
newsmen in Katsina.
He said that the command had contacted top
officials of the ministry of education and they
confirmed that the principal was hale and
hearty.
Sadiq said that the command had also
contacted the Commissioner for Education,
and the Zonal Director of education, who
assured the police that the rumour was false.
"We are surprised to read the story online
that the principal had been killed by unknown
gunmen.
"The command wish to state that the
principal in question is currently organising a
naming ceremony for a new born baby that
came into his family."
The PPRO called on the members of the
public to disregard the publication as the
handwork of mischief makers, adding that
some disgruntled elements were out to cause
disaffection among the residents of Katsina.
It will be recalled that the social media had
been spreading the rumour that Isyaku had
been assassinated by unknown gunmen for
releasing the certificate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) presidential candidate. (NAN)
