It was gathered that trouble started for the man when he was chased by colleagues of a commercial motorcyclist, who was knocked down by the vehicle he was riding in.
The politician was eventually arrested with the help of policemen around Ifako area.
But his pursuers were shocked to find three of the occupants of the space wagon car unconscious.
The okada riders and other sympathisers who suspected that the man might have abducted the threesome for ritual purposes attempted to lynch him, but were stopped by policemen, who thereafter took him and the occupants to Ifako Police Station.
The divisional police officer in charge of the police station, who reportedly quizzed the suspect, was said to have ordered that the "victims" be taken to Gbagada General Hospital.
Reports had it that the the "victims" claimed to have no knowledge of what had happened to them, after they finally woke up at the hospital.
A police source revealed that the suspect had been released on official recognition, but was asked to report to the station on a daily basis.
The source said when quizzed, the chairman claimed that the occupants had inhaled the fume from the exhaust pipe of his vehicle which had cut off and which he had retrieved and kept inside the vehicle, as he was using air conditioner.
According to the source, the police were investigating the matter, as "we do not want to believe any story."
When contacted, the state Commissioner of Police, Yakubu Alkali and the Public Relations Officer, Samuel Jinadu, refused to comment on the incident.
