A Katsina State resident, Aminu Sanda, popularly known as Nesta, has been detained and charged with treasonable felony over allegations that he destroyed pro-President Bola Tinubu campaign billboards.
Sanda was initially invited by the police in Katsina and subsequently detained over allegations that he pulled down the president’s billboards and broke into the Katsina State Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC), where he was accused of carting away N35 million.
However, Sanda has denied the allegations, including claims that he destroyed Tinubu’s billboards and broke into the APC secretariat to steal the money.
He described the allegations against him as unfounded.
Sanda was later transferred to the Force Headquarters in Abuja and subsequently remanded by a Magistrate Court sitting in Jiwa, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), on charges including treasonable felony.
The police had approached the court through a motion ex parte, seeking an order to remand him for two weeks to enable them to investigate the allegations.
