Checks by Daily Sun revealed  that the incident occurred after  a top notcher of the ruling All Progressives Congress(APC) was invited for questioning about  a month ago for his alleged romance with cattle rustlers in the State.
 
Observers in the state attributed the current trend to the extension of insurgency in the North.
When contacted, the embattled lawmaker maintained that he was invited by security agents and he had made a written statement.
 
Speaking on the development,  Police Public Relations Officer(PPRO), in the state,  DSP Lawal Abdullahi, said the raid was carried out by a special team from Abuja but declined further comment on the matter.
