Here's what a source told Punch: “The former Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido, and his two sons, Mustapha and Aminu, were arrested this morning by operatives of the commission. They were actually arrested very early this morning, they were with us for hours before they were flown to Kano for possible arraignment on Wednesday (today).They left Abuja Airport around2.30pm. It is most likely that they would be arraigned tomorrow (Wednesday), that I can tell you.”
