Daily Trust reports that the chairman have been entranged in a battle of alleged corruption with some youth organizations in the council that nearly led to break down of law and order some months ago.
Alhaji Sa’adu Ayuba’s arrest came shortly after he returned to Birnin-Kudu from Abuja where he led a deleg-ation to the Independent Elec-toral Commission (INEC) Abuja to submit a petition to recall the member representing Birnin Kudu/Buji federal constituency, Alhaji Farouk Adamu Aliyu.
Our reporter had yesterday spotted men of the commission in the state police headquarters were they were said to have secured the permission of the command who issued a warrant of arrest against the chairman before they swung into action.
Alhaji Sa’adu Ayuba, who is serving the local council for the third consecutive times on the platform of ANPP since it was created in early 70s, until lately a staunch member of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state.
