Senator representing Yobe North district, Ahmad Lawan, has described reports of ordering the arrest of his constituent, Ishe’u Ibrahim Jadda, as reckless and a deliberate attempt to tarnish his reputation.
Papers News learnt that security operatives arrested Jadda after criticising the Gashua water supply project over claims that it failed to deliver water.
However, in a statement issued on Saturday through his media adviser, Ezrel Tabiowo, Lawan dismissed the accusation of using his office or influence to suppress dissent or intimidate critics.
