“There wasn’t any case against him (Asiwaju) that will warrant any arrest. He didn’t do anything wrong. He was not even invited. It was senator Basiruthat was invited, there wasn’t anything like arrest of Asiwaju Olatunde Badmus.
“When I was hearing it (the allegation), even the commissioner of police was amazed. He thought they were even talking about another person from somewhere else, may be not in Osun State.
“He (Asiwaju Badmus) just came with them, you know the commissioner of police invited the persons that the matter concern. As an elderly person at the the eid and being the Asiwaju Musulumi of Yoruba land, edo and Delta, something like that happen around him and he will not be concerned and that was why he followed them. He did not even come alone, he came with other elders of Osogbo at the eid ground.
