The senator representing Bayelsa East constituency at the National Assembly, Ben Murray-Bruce, has condemned what he alleged as “reckless harassment” of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, on his twitter page.
” Alhaji Atiku submitted himself to the search, although as a Presidential candidate of a major party, he is supposed to be protected by the Nigerian government, the same privilege given to Buhari from 2003 to 2015 elections, said  the Hope For Nigeria group.
” The security team used video recording devices during the sting operation and Atiku was allowed to leave the airport, the group said.

“Nigeria is not a fascist state. We will not return to a jackboot dictatorship. This government should face Atiku at the polls, not with force, the group said.
