The police initially denied arresting the OPC members, saying they were only asked to stay behind and file statements after turning Mr. Wakili in.
The warlord was arrested last week by operatives of the ethnic militia, OPC.
Police advised the public to approach the state Criminal Investigation Department to make official complaints against Mr. Wakili.
“There is an order from above he now turned against the same people that helped in arresting the criminal.”
Mr. Wakili, however, denied attacking men of OPC, though one of his aides accepted owning firearms.
