Aminu Sanda, a resident of Katsina State, Nigeria, has been arrested and charged with treasonable felony after allegedly destroying campaign billboards of President Bola Tinubu. The police initially invited Sanda to their offices before detaining him on accusations that he removed Tinubu's billboards and broke into the Katsina State Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The authorities also claim that Sanda stole N35 million from the APC office. However, Sanda has vehemently denied all the allegations, stating that he is the state chairman of the Dikko/Tinubu Vanguard, a political support group for the President, and therefore could not have removed his own party's billboards. Sanda's lawyers argue that the case against him is unsubstantiated and that he should not be subjected to prolonged detention pending the outcome of the investigation.
The police have requested an additional two-week extension to continue their investigation, and the case has been adjourned until September 15 to rule on Sanda's bail application.
