The Kaduna State Command of the Department of State Services ( DSS ) has said it arrested the Director General of the Peoples Democratic Party campaign, Ben Bako because of a recent inciting statement credited to him adding that if left unchecked could lead to a “complete breakdown of law and order in the state and beyond”.
The statement which, was issued and signed by AI Koya, director of DSS of the state Command said “On the 9th February, 2019, this service invited Mr. Bako to shed more light on his inciting statement and call for violence in the state. Earlier on the 7th February, 2019 Bako had addressed a rally at Kafanchan, Jema’a local government area of Kaduna state.
The PDP Campaign DG, Ben Bako, was arrested after a video in which he allegedly called for anybody that fails to vote for the PDP in the forthcoming election to be killed.
Meanwhile Chairman of the PDP, Felix Hassan Hyat, who addressed the press at the party’s secretariat in Kaduna said, “in the first week of December, 2018 we started hearing rumours that the Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufa’i in collaboration with State Security agencies will arrest strong PDP members, days before the elections.
“We took it as mere rumours. The reality is now on ground and the action has started.”
