However, while briefing journalists, the Chairman of Dass Local Government, Suleiman Mohammed, said that Dalla was arrested wrongly.

He said: “I was told that one of our stakeholders was arrested and I came to sympathise with him –which is normal. Though, I have not discussed with him but I heard that shortly after he addressed some journalists, he was arrested.
