Police arrests Blogger Jamil Mabai over story on Katsina State Governor

Katsina State Police Commissioner Usman Abdulahi yesterday said a blogger, Jamil Mabai, had been detained for posting that the Katsina State government bought 3,000 coffins and distributed them to mosques because the government wanted people to die.

He said: “The state government complained that Jamil wrote that it had bought 3,000 coffins and distributed to mosques and may be it wanted Katsina people to die.

“Any reasonable person will ask one or two questions. This is why we had to invite him to assist the police.”
