Buba Galadima, a political ally of Atiku Abubakar, the
presidential candidate of Nigeria’s main opposition in
Saturday’s presidential election, was arrested on
Sunday, his Peoples Democratic Party has said.
Specifics of the development were still unclear as
of press time, but the party’s spokesperson, Kola
Ologbondiyan, told PREMIUM TIMES it occurred in
Abuja.



“He was accosted on the road and arrested,” Mr
Ologbonyan said, adding that he was still making
efforts to obtain further details.

A host of opposition voices online quickly pointed at
the State Security Service as the agency responsible
for Mr Galadima’s arrest, and demanded his
immediate release.

A spokesperson for the SSS told PREMIUM TIMES
he could not immediately confirm or deny claims of
Mr Galadima’s arrest.

The news comes barely a few hours after a
spokesperson for President Muhammadu Buhari’s
campaign asked security agencies to arrest Mr
Galadima, who has been amongst the most vocal
spokespersons for the opposition.

Festus Keyamo accused Mr Galadima of recording a
video announcing Mr Abubakar winner of the
Saturday’s polls.

Mr Keyamo did not attach evidence of the purported
recording in his statement, which was published
Sunday afternoon in the media.

Also on Sunday afternoon, some PDP elements
released a statement, saying there was a credible
plot to arrest the party’s leaders and clampdown on
party loyalists running its election situation room in
Abuja.

Two persons who had been at the situation room
told PREMIUM TIMES they had evacuated following
news of Mr Galadima’s arrest.

It was yet unclear whether the arrest, which
PREMIUM TIMES has not independently confirmed,
was at the instance of Mr Keyamo’s statement.
Mr Abubakar is the main challenger to Mr Buhari in
the presidential poll, whose close results were still
being collated across the country.
