A spokesperson for former military ruler, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, Kassim Afegbua, on Monday said he received no invitation from the police over a statement he signed on behalf of his principal Sunday afternoon.
“There’s nothing like that…It’s a cooked up story.” Mr. Afegbua, reportedly told Premium Times.
“Are presidential sources the Nigerian police?” Mr, Afegbua added in response to some national dailies, who cited an unnamed presidency source as informing them of the purported moves by the police to arrest him.
The police have kept mum about the arrest reports, which had been circulating since Sunday evening.
Attempts to reach the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, and Jimoh Moshood, the force spokesperson, proved abortive.
