Social media was yesterday awash with the news of Audu Maikori’s arrest. However, close associates revealed to TheNetng that the Chocolate City Chairman was deceived by the police and taken away to the Department of State Security Headquarters in Nigeria.
In a chat, the source said the arrest is trickish
“This afternoon, Audu Maikori was invited by the policemen from the station he had gone to report his driver for misinforming him on the killing of five students of the College of Education Kaduna. They came under the pretext of wanting to talk to him about the case. On getting to the station, he was then served with a warrant of arrest and taken forcibly to the DSS Headquarters in Abuja, we have cause to believe that this arrest was at the behest of the Kaduna State Governor. We tried to get the DSS to release him on Friday evening but they did not oblige. He would be kept in their custody until Monday morning”
It is expected that Audu will be detained throughout the weekend
It is widely known that when security operatives make an arrest over the weekend, the detainee is usually kept until the next working day- the next Monday.
Audu started the #SouthernKadunaKillings campaign to draw attention to what he called the Kaduna State Government’s inaction in combating the murderous rampage going on in parts of his home state.
