has been arrested by policemen in Benin City, the Edo State capital.

Viral videos showed ABURE being manhandled by policemen, even as LP supporters fought to prevent his arrest.

LP national spokesman, OBIORA IFOH confirmed ABURE’s arrest in a statement, alleging that the arrest was in connection to a protest letter by one of the expelled members of the party loyal to LAMIDI APAPA camp.

IFOH also alleged that the arrest was to frustrate the primary process and possibly interrupt the party’s participation in the governorship election.
