GEORGE TOWN,  March 28, 2015:

PAS deputy president  Mohamad Sabu has been arrested by police at about 12.20am today.
It is understood that Mohamad Sabu, better known as Mat Sabu, was arrested after alighting from the car of PAS deputy commissioner Datuk Salleh Man to head to an eatery in Pekan Sungai Dua on the mainland.
Penang PAS deputy commissioner Datuk Dr Mujahid Yusof Rawa, in a brief statement expressed shock over the arrest.
“We had just finished the state PAS committee meeting at about 11.40pm when we were approached by a team of police officers from Bukit Aman.
“They were wearing ski masks and were armed which was unnecessary,” he said in a brief statement here.
Mat Sabu had earlier chaired the meeting at its headquarters in Pongsu Seribu in Kepala Batas after a court appearance yesterday in Butterworth.According to Mujahid, Mat Sabu was taken to the Seberang Jaya police station.
“Police might have probably tailed Salleh Man’s car from Pongsu Seribu and as soon as he alighted they arrested him,” said Mujahid.
