On his arrest and detention, he said he did nothing wrong. Elijah stated that the hairstyle he designed on his customers’ heads was only a Versace design, that it wasn’t anything to anger anybody or group of persons. He said he felt really bad but now happy because of the love shown to him by people he least expected.

The senator was represented by his aide, Emmanuel Eche-Ofun John, as Abba Moro had to leave after waiting for two hours for the team to arrive from Kano state.
