Alhassan Ado Doguwa, the majority leader of the House of Representatives, was taken into custody by the police for allegedly taking part in the murder of three people.
Doguwa is a member of Kano State's Doguwa/Tudun Wada Federal Constituency and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
On Wednesday, police investigated the arrest, noting that Doguwa had been taken into custody at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport.
Six people died as a result of the legislator's alleged involvement in the first attack on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) office in his district, according to reports. The INEC allegedly used force to legitimately declare Doguwa the election's winner.
The arrest was confirmed to journalists by Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, the Police Public Relations Officer for the State Command.

Many people are closely watching the investigation as it progresses to see how the case develops and what will happen.
