JUST IN: Court Orders Arrest of PDP Factional Chairman Kabiru Turaki

A Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court 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 instituted by the Nigeria Police Force.

The trial judge, U.P. Kekemeke, on Thursday ruled that Turaki, a former minister, had no valid reason for his absence.

The Inspector-General of Police had filed a one-count charge against Turaki, accusing him of providing false information to the police in a petition dated October 2022.
