Police officers in the early hours of yesterday September 25, stormed the residence Alhaji Collins Dauda, to arrest him. The police claim they had orders from the Inspector General of Police to arrest the MP.

Minority Chief Whip, Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka confirmed this in an interview with an Accra based radio station.
