The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State, said officers of the Nigeria Police Force, have arrested Senator Rafiu Ibrahim (representing Kwara South Constituency) ahead of Saturday’s elections.

Hon. Muideen Abdulrahman, Chairman, PDP Kwara South Youth Forum, raised the alarm in a statement Thursday night.

Abdulrahman said the action was a sign that the Police have decided to take sides against the opposition.

“The
reason behind Senator Ibrahim’s arrest is currently unknown and
reminiscent of last year’s arrest of Kwara PDP leaders in Kwara South
constituency during the bye-election”, he noted.

“As at the time
of this statement, Lola Ashiru, the candidate of the APC for the Kwara
South Senatorial District, was holding a late-night rally, where he
celebrated the arrest of Senator Ibrahim stating that the party had the
“full support of the Government at the center.

“We, the youths of
Kwara South Constituency, hereby call on the international community,
specifically, observers who have come to witness the February 23rd
election, to take note of the partisan and irresponsible antics of the
Nigeria Police Force.

“We also call on all well-meaning
Nigerians to join us to call for the release of Distinguished Senator
Rafiu Ibrahim, who is known as a peace-loving and highly-performing
legislator who always puts the needs of his constituents first and
foremost.

“Additionally, we call on the Acting Inspector General
of Police, Mohammed Abubakar Adamu, to cease and desist from utilising
institutions of state from harassing leading political figures in our
state.

“Elections are not do or die affair, hence, all candidates should be free to test their popularity at the polls without fear of intimidation by men of the Nigerian Police who are sworn to ‘serve and protect’ all citizens irrespective of their party affiliation,” he said
