The plan to arrest him in Kano last week failed.
Muazu’s lawyers have already filed a case in Kano against any form of intimidation and lawful arrest.
Muazu belongs to the APC faction of former Governor, Ibrahim Shekarau and the faction that controls APC in Kano.
Many believe Muazu’s arrest was ordered by Governor Abdullai Umar Ganduje.
