IGP Orders Afegbua’s Arrest Over Anti Buhari Statement

The Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has ordered the
arrest of Kassim Afegbua for the statement he issued on behalf of
former President Ibrahim Babangida.

A government source, who does not want his name in print,
confirmed that the IGP had ordered Afegbua’s arrest within 24
hours.

It would be recalled that Afegbua, in a statement issued on
Sunday allegedly on behalf of Babangida quoted him as saying that
President Muhammadu Buhari should not seek for re-election in
2019.

However in a swift reaction, the former Military President
denied issuing a statement calling on Nigerians to disregard the
earlier statement by Afegbua.

According to the source, “the IGP has ordered for the arrest of
Kassim Afegbua for issuing a fake statement.

He was advised to submit himself to the Force Headquarters in 24
hours or face arrest.
