This newspaper recalls that the Council boss was caught on camera carrying gun at an even which he tagged an act of self defense and in order to protect himself from being killed like some late gladiators in the local government.
The source said: “It is true (he has been detained), the man is with us. He must explain to us why he was threatening people with a gun. I understand the state government has sent a legal team to our office today, but the man won’t be released until we conclude our investigation and the right thing is done.
“He was arrested on Tuesday. His action has created fear in the minds of the people. Why must you take such a step at a social function?”
