The governor had directed the Police, as a matter of urgency t0 arrest the House of Representatives member, “wherever he is, and must be made to face prosecution.”

But the governorship aspirant, had in a swift response, denied the allegations, rather accusing the governor of trying to dent his reputation in a bid to deny him the Thursday’s screening for the state governorship primaries.

It was learnt that Dagogo, who represents Degema-Bonny Federal Constituency in the House of Representative, was whisked away in a patrol van labeled, ‘Operation C4i-027’ by policemen drafted to the scene.
