The Niger State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of a 38-year-old man, Hamisu Abdullahi, for allegedly shouting “no water, no light” during Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago's visit to the Emir of Suleja after the Eid-el-Fitr prayers last Friday.
The police spokesperson in the state, SP Wasiu Abiodun, who confirmed the incident, said the suspect was arrested for attempting to disrupt government activities during the governor’s Sallah visit.
"One Hamisu Abdullahi, 38, of Suleja, was arrested and transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Minna, on March 20, 2026, for suspected thuggery and attempting to disrupt government activities during the Sallah visit,” he said.
“However, he was later granted bail while investigation continues.”
The suspect’s brother, Haruna Abdullahi, confirmed that he was released on bail on Tuesday evening after spending five days in detention.
