The Kano State police spokesperson, ASP Magaji Majia, confirmed the death of the yet-to-be identified victim, and that Aminu was being detained by the police.
SaharaReporters however learned of his release today on bail. The police would not say if they plan to charge Aminu for any offences relating to the death of the man.
An eyewitness said the incident happened at Bayero University, and that the speeding Aminu knocked down the man as he was trying to cross the road into Rumfa College. The victim was rushed to a nearby hospital where doctors confirmed him dead.
Aminu was also recently arrested by the EFCC at the Aminu Kano International airport for money laundering, and he spent a night in jail at the Kwalli Police Divisional Headquarters.
Governor Lamido is widely-rumoured to be preparing to run for president in 2015.
KontriMan raised an issue recently about what was happening to the money laundering case involving this fellow who it was claimed was laundering funds for his father, the Governor. And as if that case was not enough to keep him sober and out of the spotlight for a while, he went on driving recklessly around town and in the process killing a man. What is wrong with our leaders? Shouldn't this young man be under serious caution and surveillance by his father? Well, what more can be said? The statement is sometimes made that "like father, like son". How would a father caution his son for doing something that is not alien to him or for an action that is not out of place. Who knows, maybe the father is even well-aware of the activities of the son?
What is more, he was released on bail again just like he was for the earlier matter against him? Released on bail just like that after a couple of hours in a matter where death is involved? And the police would not say if they plan to charge Aminu for any offences relating to the death of the man? Would this have been possible had it been it was an ordinary citizen involved?
We say no more.
