The aide revealed how he went into hiding at the Kano
State Government House for five days to avoid being arrested by the
police.
According to him, at least 40 officers from the
Inspector General of Police Monitoring Team were deployed to Kano to arrest him
about six days ago.
Bature stated this while delivering an address at the
PR Nigeria Young Communication Fellowship in Kano.
He said that he remained in the Government House
due to constitutional immunity, which prevents the arrest of anyone within the
premises except with the governor’s express permission.
He explained that he had a court order restraining the
police from arresting him, which was why he attended the event. He added that
it was mandatory for him to be present.
He stressed that he was also fortified against being
arrested.
He said, “So, there was this petition against me that
nobody is handling except the IG himself. He deployed 40 personnel of the IG
Monitoring Team squad to Kano since Sunday with the mandate of arresting me.
“So, I came out because of just three things, one, I
don’t think I should miss this event even if I’m going to be arrested.
“The second issue is that I have secured a court order
which has not been served to the police but has already gone viral. So, I’m
sure they must have seen it. Thirdly, I confidentially ventured out because I’m
well fortified to resist arrest if it happens.”
