Senator Hassan Barata, who is a former Chairman Senate Committee on Culture and Tourism, has reportedly been detained in Saudi Arabia.
A report by The Nation said that when Barata was arrested and questioned, he claimed to be an employee of the Nigerian Embassy, a claim which was later found to be false.
Barata, is believed to have travelled to Saudi Arabia a few weeks ago and may have possibly overstayed when he was picked up.
He was supposedly holding an official passport on the trip, which the Federal government, recently issued a retrieval order on.
