The Kano State Commissioner for Local Government Affairs, Alhaji Murtala Sulegaro, has denied claims that he, the Deputy Governor and other government officials, were arrested for disrupting the colla
tion process during last Saturday’s Governorship Election.
According to him, he and his colleagues went to the collation centre in response to an alarm raised by agents of the All Progressives Congress that agents of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party were tampering with the collation process. He further explained that he called other government officials, including the deputy governor who hail from the local government and they went to the collation centre in response to a distress call about the unwholesome activities of the opposition but that they were attacked by the PDP agents, some of who were wearing observers’ vests.
