In another interview with the BBC Hausa Service , Abba, in response to a question as to stories making the rounds that some of his men were wounded in yesterday fracas, said “Everybody has seen that somebody was even beating somebody, somebody was pushing a policeman from the car.

He however said Nigerians should wait and see the action the Police will take following the outcome of its ongoing findings.
