A source told Viewpointnigeria that the PDP leader was apprehended along with one Dung Jato popularly known as (Santos) when the security guiding the equipment alerted the police in Riyom, they immediately rushed to the area and arrested them.

Narrating the Incident to our correspondent, an Elder from Riyom who wouldn’t want his name in print said, “On Thursday evening last week at about 9pm a youngman who has just been appointed to guard the Railway equipment saw the culprits and alerted the police since only him couldn’t have over powered them and the police immediately came and they were arrested.

The Elder regretted the incident, saying the community had always warned youths from the locality against behaviours such as stealing and wonder why those who are suppose to lead by example could be involved in criminal activities.

When contacted, Plateau State Police Public Relations Officer, DCP Emmanuel Abu said, ” When i received details from the DPO of the Local Government I will get back to you.

As at the time of filing this report nothing has been heard from the PPRO.

Viewpointnigeria reliably gathered that since the arrest, some PDP stakeholders in Riyom Local Government have been visiting the Police station lobbying to get bail for the ward Chairman who is still in Police net as at the time of filling this report.
