The Governor of Bauchi State who had personally ordered for his arrest was reported to bowed under the immense pressure resulting from the social media outcry over the arrest – which was termed abduction because the Bauchi police had come to Wuse residence in Abuja to forcefully ‘arrest’ the social activists. Musa Azare was taken by the rogue police officers from Bauchi back to Bauchi State – with a stopover Keffi – where they passed the night. On their approach to Bauchi State, the governor was reported to place a call to the police to release Musa Azare immediately – that he should not be brought into Bauchi. The Bauchi rogue police attempted to dump Musa Azare along the expressway leading into Bauchi State – but Musa resisted and insisted he either be brought back to Abuja or be taken to Bauchi. After exchanging banters with the rogue officers, the officers agreed to sneak into Bauchi to drop him inside Bauchi town.
