He said that the case was being prosecuted with “due diligence”, and assured members of the public that every suspect in the matter would be invited for interrogation.

“When you are suspected, you will be interrogated. We are treating this matter as avery serious one.

“We shall be thorough and professional. We shall fear no one,” he said. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Isah was arrested at the gate of the state Ministry of Education by security agents, who intercepted the council boss’ vehicle.

The security officials had quietly flashed their Identity cards and asked Isah to alight and board their waiting vehicle, a directive Isah complied with, after hesitating for some minutes.
