The group claimed it was after realising that the four were not in custody that Umar ordered for their arrest and subsequently detention.

The Spokesman of IMN, Ibrahim Musa, who made the allegation in a statement said among others, “The Chief Judge of Kaduna State must investigate the deliberate procedural irregularity perpetrated by the Chief Magistrate 1 Ibrahim Taiwo Road Kaduna in taking cognizance of the offences and suspects he signed their detention warrant in December three months after he signed the said warrant committing them to prison custody.”
