March 01, (THEWILL) – The Kano State Police Command, on Wednesday, arraigned the majority leader of the House of Representatives, Alhassan Ado Doguwa, before a Magistrate Court at Nomansland, Kano State.
Doguwa was arraigned for alleged criminal conspiracy, culpable homicide and causing grievous hurt to innocent persons during last Saturday’s general election.
THEWILL earlier reported that operatives of the Kano State Police Command, on Tuesday evening, arrested Doguwa.
He was reportedly arrested for alleged murder and arson on the secretariat of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) during the just concluded poll.
Spokesperson of the State Police Command, SP Haruna Kiyawa, who confirmed the incident, said Police received complaints 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.
He said the Commissioner of Police in charge of the 2023 general election in the State, CP Muhammad Yakubu, directed the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Kano State Police Command, to carry out a thorough investigation.
“In continuation of the investigation on 27th February 2023, the Department extended a formal invitation to Honorable Alhassan Ado Garba Doguwa, a member representing Doguwa/Tudun Wada Federal Constituency for his alleged complicity in the incident.
“Sequel to his refusal to honour the invitation, the Command was left with no other option than to activate a motion that would lead to his arrest.
“He was subsequently arrested by detectives from the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Bompai Kano, at Malam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA), Kano,” he explained.
