Control TV News earlier reported that Wike had ordered the police to arrest Dagogo, the lawmaker representing Degema/Bonny Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, over activities related to cultism.
Dagogo was subsequently arrested at about 6:30 pm on Thursday when he went for his screening at the south-south zonal office of the PDP in Port Harcourt, the state capital.

The armed security operatives, however, prevented journalists from covering the arrest of the governorship aspirant who is a beneficiary of the Federal Government’s amnesty granted to militants in the Niger Delta.
Wike, while ordering the lawmaker’s arrest, had accused him of hiring cultists to attack the PDP secretariat in Port Harcourt and disrupt the screening of aspirants for various elective positions.
“The Police must as a matter of urgency arrest Farah Dagogo, wherever he is and must be made to face prosecution,” the governor had said in a statement by his media aide, Kelvin Ebiri.
