The Federal Government says it is yet to get a detailed report on the circumstances surrounding the arrest and detention of former Senator and ex gubernatorial candidate, Hassan Barata in Saudi Arabia.
According to the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr Amedu Ogbole-Ode, the Nigerian Embassy in Saudi Arabia is yet to brief the Federal Government on how the one time Chairman of Senate Committee on Culture and Tourism got arrested and detained in that country.
However, Senator Barata is believed to have got into trouble for over staying in Saudi Arabia and lying to the authorities that he was a staff of Nigerian embassy.
He is also believed to be carrying an official passport, a document which he is no longer entitled to.
