Court Issues Arrest Warrant For PDP Factional Chairman Turaki

A High Court in the Federal Capital Territory has issued an order for the arrest of Kabiru Turaki, a factional National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), after he failed to appear in court over a case filed by the Inspector-General of Police.

According to Ireporter Online, the directive was made on Thursday by Justice U.P. Kekemeke, who noted that Turaki had no valid reason for his absence from the proceedings. The judge instructed that Turaki be taken into custody and presented before the court to face the charges against him.

The Inspector-General of Police filed the case, alleging that Turaki provided false information to the police, a claim stemming from a petition submitted in October 2022.

Further developments are expected as the matter progresses.
