Buhari is said to be currently interrogated in Abuja.

Is has been gathered by Sahara Reporters that the arrest could be allegedly instructed by Vice President Namadi Sambo, who also hails from Kaduna.

In the course of the interrogation Buhari explained he had shared the photos in order to prove the enormity of the attacks and urge the government take immediate action to prevent further bloodshed.
Interestingly, the journalists from Thisday newspaper, where the suspect also works, revealed that Buhari had already closed the case last week and discharged Buhari after him having written the undertaking.

However,  according to the journalist, the case was politicized this week, and Vice President allegedly prevailed on Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Mohammed Abubakar to process Buhari’s arrest and transfer from Kaduna to Abuja.

He also lamented:
"Why would the Police not go after the killers but go after the one who is mourning. We are also surprised by how a case in Kaduna will be taken to Abuja; it confirms our suspicions that it is politicized and there is more than meets the eye."
