Alhassan Doguwa, majority leader of the house of
representatives, has been arrested by the police for his alleged role in
attacks in Kano state during the general election.
A source in the police said Doguwa was picked up on Tuesday
at the Mallam Aminu Kano international airport while boarding a flight to
Abuja.
The source said the police received a report in Tudun Wada
alleging that Doguwa led the thugs that set ablaze the secretariat of the New
Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the area, with two persons feared dead.
“He is currently cooling off in the state criminal
investigation department,” the source said.
Earlier on Tuesday at a media briefing, Doguwa denied the
allegation that supporters of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC),
were responsible for the fire that gutted the secretariat of the NNPP in Tudun
Wada LGA of the state.
During the briefing, Doguwa also said he learnt that the
police were looking for him but said he had not received any formal invitation.
“I never held a gun. I don’t even know how to hold a gun. I
also never held any weapon throughout the election,” he had said.
