convoy, resulting in damage to several vehicles and injuries, including to a Federal Character Commissioner.

Nagenu's arrest came after a viral video linked him to the violence, although his lawyers state that the video was misinterpreted and that he had no prior knowledge or connection to the attackers. The unrest reportedly stemmed from a failed cash distribution exercise allegedly organized by the governor, which caused outrage among residents. Nagenu also faced issues during the local government election, with his name and party reportedly omitted from the ballot.

Nagenu has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department in Minna for further investigation, and he is reportedly cooperating with the authorities. One of the co-arrested individuals has been granted bail on medical grounds. Nagenu's legal team expects the process to be fair and straightforward as they proceed with the case.
