Isuku explained that Ali was arrested by court orderlies using private tricycle.
Isuku said: “Modu Ali was not kidnapped or abducted by gunmen as reported in the media.
“He was arrested by court orderlies based on an order of a court in Maiduguri.”
Isuku added that Ali had been reunited with his family after he was released by the court.
