The police have arrested Alhassan Ado Doguwa, the Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, for his alleged role in the killing of several people and the burning of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) secretariat during the recently concluded election.

The police confirmed that at least three people were killed when the NNPP campaign secretariat in Tudunwada was set on fire.

During the crisis that erupted during the collation of the results of the Doguwa/Tudunwada House of Representatives election, which Doguwa was eventually declared to have won, two people were burned to death.

According to a credible source in the police force, Doguwa was apprehended at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport as he was about to board a flight to Abuja.

According to the source, a report from the police leadership in Tudunwada stated that Doguwa personally led the thugs who set fire to the NNPP secretariat, killing at least two people.

“He also used the pistol of his orderly and fired and several persons. So we have arrested him in connection to murder and arson.”

“He is currently cooling off in the state Criminal Investigation Department,” the source, who is very familiar with the investigation and asked not to be named, said.

Earlier, Doguwa denied any wrongdoing during a press conference with journalists, saying he learned the police were looking for him but had not received any formal invitation.

He also denied shooting at several people during the fracas, claiming that he does not own a gun and does not know how to use one.

“I never held a gun. I don’t even know how to hold a gun. I also never held any weapon throughout the election,” he said.

He, however, said the crisis started when NNPP supporters came with the mindset of burning the INEC office and were repelled by supporters of APC.
