IGP orders arrest of IBB spokesman, Afegbua over controversial statement

The Inspector General of Police Ibrahim Idris has ordered the arrest of the spokesman of former Military President Ibrahim Babangida should he fail to turn himself up within 24 hours.

Afegua is wanted for ” issuing a fake statement.”

Recall that Afegbua had on Sunday released a statement quoting the former military ruler as saying President Muhammadu Buhari should not seek reelection.

But the former president denied it and issued another one which he personally signed.

However, Afegbua insisted on the one he issued as the authentic.

A government source, who does not want his name in print, confirmed that the IGP had ordered Afegbua’s arrest within24 hours.
