Kaduna State Police Commissioner, Umar Kofar-Naisa, has ordered the Vice Chancellor, Kaduna State University, KASU, Professor Willaims Quirix, to produce one of his lecturers, Dr. John Danfulani for verbally attacking the state government.

The Police also claimed that his comments could cause violence in Kaduna.

But the University authorities since January 8, 2016, suspended the Political Science lecturer after querying him earlier.

According to Vanguard, a letter dated 21st January, 2015 with reference – CR: 000/KDS/X/D6/Vol.82/150 signed CP Umar Kofar-Niasa addressed to the VC of KASU, reads: “This Department is investigating the above mentioned case involving one of your lecturers, Dr. John Danfulani.

“You are kindly requested to release him to interview the undersigned through O/C General Surveillance State SCIID Kaduna on 25/01/2006 at about 1000hrs to enable complete our investigation.”

It would be recalled that the Registrar of KASU, Mrs Talatu A. Kuri, had on January 8, written Danfulani to inform him of his suspension.

The letter reads: “We refer to our letter of query dated 5th January, 2016 requesting you to explain within 48 hours why disciplinary action will not be taken against you for gross misconduct and confirm that you failed to respond.

In line with S15 (1) 4 of KASU staff Conditions of Service, the Vice Chancellor has suspended you from duty forthwith and will report the matter to Council.”
