A High Court in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has ordered the arrest of Kabiru Turaki, a factional national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), for failing to appear in court in a case brought against him by the police.
The order was issued on Thursday by Justice U. P. Kekemeke, who ruled that Turaki had no valid reason for not attending the court proceedings.
The case was filed by the office of the Kayode Egbetokun. According to the charge, Turaki allegedly provided false information to the police in a petition submitted in October 2022.
Following his absence from court, the judge issued a bench warrant directing security agencies to arrest him and ensure his appearance before the court.
Further details on the case are expected as proceedings continue.
