Meanwhile, Governor Yahaya Bello has been reportedly accused of being behind the latest predicament of the family members of his predecessor.
However, in a statement released through the his Chief Press Secretary, Fanwo Kingsley, the gov categorically denied having any hand in any arrest of the late Mr. Audu’s relatives.
“The Governor did not order the arrest of anybody. However, law enforcement agents are free to effect arrest when anyone infringes the Law.
“If members of Audu family run foul of the Law, they would not be spared just because they are members of Audu’s family,” he said.
