The Prince Mado Mado for Plateau Youth council state chairman campaign organization wish to inform the public that it’s principal, Prince Mado is missing and his phone calls unanswered amidst yet to be verified information that he was arrested by members of the Secret Service on the orders of the number three citizen of Plateau state.

We received a message around 12:20pm today the 9th of July, 2020 from our principal that he has been arrested. Efforts on our part to reach to him prove abortive as his phone calls are not been answered.

We are concerned because this said action confirms recent outcry by our principal that he was reliably informed that he will be arrested.

While we recognize that the security agencies are empowered by law to protect lives and properties and in the process, investigate and prosecute criminal activities, we wish to state that such must be according to the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended and not in gestapo style.

This said arrest is not unconnected to recent events in the Plateau State House of Assembly including the inflated purchase of cars for state legislators which our principal has consistently criticised which is his inalienable right.

On this note, we condemn in strong terms this recourse to using state apparatus in attempt to silence those who choose to speak truth to power and call for his unconditional release unharmed.

Members of the public will be updated as we make more findings and explore options to ensure his timely release.
