Nigeria - Several chieftains of the All Progressive Congress in Sokoto state has been arrested by the Department of State Security in the early hours of the day, Sahara Reporters say.

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.

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.

However the DSS denied reports of the arrest.

The Sokoto State Police Command Public Relations Officer (PPRO), El-Mustapha Sani, also denied that the Police have a hand in the arrests.
