“Yunusa is presently here in the Bayelsa police command. He was brought by a team of policemen from the Force Headquarters on Wednesday. 

He is being detained at the Criminal Investigations Department (CID),” he said.

The source said the police had been mandated to carry out thorough investigations and compile evidence that would lead to Yunusa’s prosecution.
