Jatau alleged that the security operatives were deployed from Abuja.

He also claimed they arrested and intimidated some supporters of the All Progressives Movement (APM).

According to the deputy governor, the supporters had not committed any offence before their arrest.

Jatau called for their immediate release.

He said the arrests were unnecessary and could weaken confidence in the electoral process.
