The Commission’s lawyer, Ahmed Arogha Esq told newsmen at the premises of federal High court, Kano that the Anti graft Agency is “looking for him.”

Barrister Arogha who spoke shortly after the court failed to sit over the absence of the presiding Judge declared that the Commission would “arrest him wherever he is.”

Barrister Arogha said “anytime and anywhere we see, we will arrest him”

The development followed Zaura’s bid to stop the federal high court from trying him at the Apex court suffered set back.
