Former Minister of Information and the Zamfara Central senatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Hon. Ikira Aliyu Bilbis, has been arrested by the Nigerian Police Force over alleged vandalism.
Bilbis, who was arrested with other suspects in Zamfara, was said to have been arrested in Gusau, the State capital, in the wee hours of Tuesday, November 29, 2022.

The state secretary of the PDP, Alhaji Muhammad Abdullahi Zangina, who confirmed the arrest, said a team of PDP lawyers has since been at the police headquarters in Gusau, where he has been determined to know the level of the case and action to be taken.
Alhaji Muhammad noted that the arrest may not be unconnected with an allegation by the ruling party, the APC, of vandalising its billboards and other properties during the reception rally in honour of Dr. Dauda Lawal Dare.
