The travails of Chocolate City boss Audu Maikori continued in the custody of the Kaduna State Police Command when he reportedly collapsed and was rushed to Police Medical Centre on Sunday night.
Reports say the lawyer who was locked up in a cell before he collapsed is however getting better after he was diagnosed with respiratory infection by doctors as he awaits arraignment in court today (Monday)
Maikori was re-arrested by security operatives over his Southern Kaduna comments 22-days after he was initially arrested and whisked away by policemen who later transferred him to Abuja at the time for more questioning over what was regarded as inciting remarks.
Recall two weeks ago that Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai while speaking at the Lagos Social Media Week said Maikori ‘‘must suffer for the consequences of his comments’’.
El-Rufai noted that Maikori will be prosecuted over his misleading tweets on Southern Kaduna attack for posting on his Twitter time-line that five students of the College of Education, GidanWaya in Kaduna state, were ambushed and killed by herdsmen while on their way back to school on January 22nd.
Weeks after making the claim on Twitter, Maikori had apologised and retracted the comments, informing that after carrying out a detailed investigation that involved the police, he found out that his driver who broke the news to him and was in Kaduna at the time of the incident and claimed his brother was also killed, lied to him just to extort money.
The re-arrest of Maikori is coming two days after he collapsed at an event in Lagos and was subsequently rushed to ST Nicholas hospital where he was later revived.
