A Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court has ordered the arrest of Kabiru Turaki, a factional National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), after he failed to appear in court over a criminal charge filed by the Nigeria Police Force.
The development adds to ongoing legal tensions surrounding the opposition figure, as authorities pursue the case linked to allegations involving his interactions with law enforcement.
The ruling was delivered on Thursday by Justice U.P. Kekemeke, who held that Turaki had no valid justification for his absence. The case concerns a one-count charge filed by the Inspector-General of Police over alleged false information contained in a petition dated October 2022.
MORE DETAILS COMING.
