The Nigerian Correctional Service, Kano state Command, has dismissed the claim that Sheikh Abduljabbar was poisoned, saying he is “hale and hearty”.

The lawyer reportedly said that Sheik had been poisoned at a Correctional facility in Kano.

But in a statement on Wednesday, the command dismissed the allegation.

The statement read: “The attention of the Nigerian Correctional Service, Kano statStatemand, has been drawn to a malicious and false report in the published ic domain that Kano-based Islamic cleric, Sheikh Abduljabbar Nasiru Kabara, who is in our custody, is seriously ill.

“The Service is calling on the general public to debunk and discountenance this falsehood which is a figment of the imagination of the author.

“The service wishes to inform the public that the said Sheikh, as well as other inmates of custodial centres in the state, are, hale and hearty. The Service prioritizes the medical and health welfare of all inmates.”
