Description

Some masked men suspected to be from the Department of State Services have arrested a Spokesman for the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Organisation, Buba Galadima.

It was learnt that he was arrested by some men who alighted from a grey tinted Honda car, in the Wuse 2 area of Abuja shortly after leaving his house.

Galadima’s arrest occurred minutes after the Spokesman for President Muhammadu Buhari’s Campaign Organisation, Festus Keyamo (SAN), accused Galadima of planning to announce fake results and cause a crisis.

Keyamo had called on security agents to arrest Galadima who is in his 70s.
