Social media has been abuzz over the arrest on Monday.
CP Wakili has been a top trend on Twitter in Nigeria on Monday when the news of the arrest of deputy governor filtered in.
Many social media users said the Police Commissioner exhibited uncommon integrity by arresting Gamuwa.
“CP Wakili Wow!
To be honest I never thought anything good could come out of @PoliceNG Segalink was right about few good eggs in the NG police force.
God bless CP Wakili.@segalink @DeleMomodu + CP Wakili my Men of the year 2019”, Dami Armani tweeted.
Many said Wakil is trying to remedy what is left of the integrity of the Nigeria Police.
Videos seen on social media show the Commissioner of Police arriving some Poling units amid cheers by the crowd.
Wakili was one of the pioneer detectives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). He is famous for his fight against drug abuse which is prevalent in Kano.
His posting to Kano is strategic, to deal with the illicit abuse of drugs. But he moved an inch further– to tackle impunity.
