The Party Chairman is said to have been detained on Tuesday night after honouring invitations from the police at the Command Headquarters in Minna, the state capital. The State Secretary, Mohammed Liman and the State Treasurer, Dr. Mohammed Shashi who were arrested along with the Chairman were however released after two hours of interrogation.
