Dangwani was said to have been arrested on Saturday, March 19, 2016, along with some of Kwankwaso’s political associates, according to Daily Trust.
The men were said to have been arrested for planning to organize a political rally in the state.
The claim was however denied by the former Commissioner for State Affairs, Comrade Aminu Abdulsalam.

“We are right now at the police command trying to secure Dangwani’s bail. His arrest has nothing to do with any political rally,” he said.
Abdulsalam said further that Dangwani’s arrest was connected to the recent feud between Kwankwaso and current governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
Ganduje recently threatened to expose some atrocities committed by Kwankwaso during the latter’s tenure.
