The Borno State Police Command under the leadership of CP Yusufu Lawal has arrested a Legislative Aide to the embattled Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume, Hon. Usman Aliyu (Babandi) alongside two supporters, Mallam Ibrahim Adamu and Alhaji Tasiu Hassan Malgwi for allegedly planning to stage a solidarity rally in Biu local government area of Southern Borno Senatorial District following removal of the senator as Chief Whip at the Red Chamber. Reliable Sources have said.

This development is coming at a time when the Presidency said: ‘Nigerians have the constitutional right to peaceful protest and no one can deny them’, even as the Inspector-General of Police, IGP, Kayode Egbetokun, has promised to provide security cover for any peaceful protests in the country.
