Sokoto State APC Chieftains Arrested - Saharareporters by jomoh: 8:38am On Mar 28, 2015
BY- SAHARA REPORTERS NEW YORK

March 28 2015.

With just hours to the 2015 presidential elections, SaharaReporters has been informed of the detention of some chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC) by the Sokoto State command of the Department of State Security (DSS).

Those under arrest include Alhaji Mu’azu Zabira, the chairman of APC’s Security Committee.  The home of another APC chieftain, Alhaji Ummarun Kwabo was raided, during which Alhaji Abubakar Kani was arrested.  Up to the time of this report, no information was available with regard to where they are, or the offences for which they are being held.

Confirming the situation to SaharaReporters, the APC acting Chairman in the state, Alhaji Usman Suleiman Danmadamin Isah, said arrests are one of the strategies of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to use force to seize power in the state. Alhaji Isah said efforts were being made to secure the release of the men before the election.

Responding to telephone inquiries, the DSS Director, Abubakar Bubuche, denied knowledge of the arrests.  The Sokoto State Police Command Public Relations Officer (PPRO), El-Mustapha Sani, also denied that the Police have a hand in the arrests.

The state PDP, in conjunction with the Federal Government, is alleged to have listed about nine APC chieftains in the state as well as some state government officials to be detained until the result of the elections is announced.

Meanwhile, Justice Rilwanu Aikawa of the Sokoto Federal High Court has restrained the EFCC, ICPC, the Police and the NIA from arresting state government officials in relation to investigations in alleged cases of appropriation, disbursement and administration of monies appropriated between 2008 and 2014.

Also on Friday in Kaduna, Kaduna State, the police was reported to have attempted to detain several APC chieftains, including the governorship candidate, Nasir El-Rufai, the APC Senatorial Candidate for Kaduna North, Suleiman Hunkuyi; and a top campaign council official, Lawal Yakawada.

Premium Times said the APC officials had declined to honour the invitation, but that their lawyer wrote to the police to say the matter over which they were invited was already in court.

We know this will happen but GEJ and PDP should respect Nigerians and allow a free and fair election with no threat to opposition leaders life.

Change
Sai Buhari

Modified-

Just in

Card readers were apparently failing often at a polling booth near an Accenture staff's home. And the guy couldn't understand why...cos the readers were all new. So he approached the INEC woman. Inspected the reader. Only to find the protective film on the lense of the reader had not been removed. After a protracted argument he convinced the woman to remove it. The reader not only read the prior rejected cards, it was reading with even faster response time. Please share. It could help a lot.

This is a very horrible move by the PDP. It shows their lack of civility and the incompetence of winning the election on an equal participating ground.
No matter what, Their evil plots cannot override the sacred voices of the masses.
Nigeria is bigger than an Otuoke Drunk Monster
The wind of Change has never been so Inevitable.

Broom vs Umbrella

100% of Nigerian homes have brooms.
20% of Nigerian homes owns umbrellas.

The use of broom is daily while that of umbrella is seasonal.

Nigerians cannot do without brooms but umbrella usage is optional.

Broom represent unity and togetherness since one broom cannot do the job well.
Umbrellas are made to be used by one person at a time. It protects only few no matter its size.

One big broom can guaranteed a clean home.

This Saturday is sanitation, come out with your broom... Together we can clean these mess.
Yes We Can.

Irrespective of who wins Saturday's election we still won't have 6,000 megawatts of electricity by 2019.
There will still be at least 2 ASUU strikes before 2020, garri will still never be sold at 20naira per derica, ponmo will still be cheaper than beef, your landlord will not reduce his rent,
your salary will most likely remain the same for another couple of years, I will still have to pay for electricity that I'll never get to use, MC Oluomo will still control Oshodi, DSTV will not
reduce monthly subscription, MTN will not give you FREEBIES without hidden charges, the list is unending, but one thing is super certain, your
hustle will always put food on your table. Just vote, don't impose your opinions on us, GEJ is a Wolf, BUHARI is a Lion, even we sef we no be Sheep, we are a lawless lot. Irrespective of who wins, just give me PEACE cos I need to go out on Monday and get my daily food. God bless U as U vote!

Nationwide #Ekitigate #Nigeriagate.

With the prophesies and endorsements in favor of GEJ, they still insist on using all necessary means to scuttle a peaceful election and make sure it is in their favor.

If you are confident that you'll win, allow things take their natural course.

Sahara reporter is the official media partner of the APC. All this fake arrest stories of APC is the last minute effort to convince Nigerians that PDP is evil.
