The Kano State Police Command has given the reason policemen arrested a former Kano State Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Muazu Magaji.
Magaji, a fierce critic of the governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, was arrested by the police in Abuja shortly after granting a live interview on Trust TV in Utako on Thursday night.
He was immediately flown to Kano and spent a night at the Police Command Headquarters in Bompai.
Speaking to Daily Nigerian, an online newspaper on Friday, the spokesperson for the Command, SP Abdullahi Haruna, said the police resorted to arresting Magaji after he refused to honourably submit himself to police for questioning despite several invitations.
Haruna said the police invited Magaji following a directive of the court to investigate him.
The Police spokesperson said, “We are currently investigating charges of defamation of character, intentional insult, injurious falsehood and inciting disturbance against Muazu Magaji.”
Meanwhile, a complaint letter by Ganduje’s lawyers and sighted by our reporter indicated that the letter was addressed to the presiding magistrate of Court 58, Nomansland, Aminu Gambari
