The Majority Leader of the House of Representatives Alhassan Doguwa has been remanded by the Kano State Margistrate Court over alleged murder and arson.
IkejaBird gathered that Doguwa stood before the court located at the state metropolis on Wednesday after his arrest at Aminu Kano International Airport.
The hearing was eventually adjourned to March 7 by the Magistrate Ibrahim Yola stating that Doguwa should still be held behind bars until then.
Haruna Kiyawa, Kano State PPRO has confirmed the arrest of the House of Representative member adding that the crime was connected to incitement and homicide.
“We received a complaint on the gruesome murder of three persons, causing grievous injury to eight others in Tudun Wada LGA on 26/02/2023 while the collation of election results was ongoing and an alleged viral video of some victims with suspected gunshots in the Social Media,” he said.
“He was subsequently arrested by detectives from the State Criminal Investigation Department Bompai Kano at Malam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano,” he added.
The PPRO said that the arrest was made against the majority leader because he refused to honour the previous invitation sent to him.
