Former military president, Ibrahim Babangida’s official spokesman, Prince Kassim Afegbua, yesterday disclosed that it was the former president who called to inform him that he has wanted by the police.

He however added that Babangida was surprised and wondered why the police declared him wanted when he is not a criminal.

Afegbua reported at the Force Headquarters, in Abuja at about 10:10am on Wednesday after the police declared him wanted for writing a disputed statement on behalf of Babangida.

He had on Sunday signed the statement for Babangida in which the former military ruler expressed misgivings about the President Muhammadu Buhari administration and called for a younger leader to emerge in 2019.

However, a counter statement purportedly signed by Babangida was released few hours after the earlier statement made it to the media, which adopted a conciliatory tone in its observations about the Buhari administration but maintained that it was time for a younger generation of leaders to emerge.

Following this development, the police declared Afegbua wanted “for making false statements, injurious falsehood, defamation of character and for act capable of inciting public disturbance throughout the country”.

He turned up at the Louis Edet House in Abuja, accompanied by his legal team, led by his lead counsel, Dr. Kayode Ajulo.

Speaking with newsmen shortly before entering the Louis Edet House, Afegbua maintained that Babangida was fully in support of the statement and is standing solidly behind him.

His words, “the former president is fully behind me and he has been in touch with me. There’s no need for him to say anything more than he has already said.

The NPF is the most incompetent in Africa.

Instead of the police going after those that purportedly issued the second and unauthorized statement, they decided to go after the person who issued the correct one, but whose content they do not like as it criticises their paymaster

K

Does Nigerians still have IGP?

That stupid man has turned blind eye to the killings happening everywhere and has turned to Buhari's personal lap dog!!

OBASANJO and IBB Can only pull GEJ And PDP from power.
( 1) both men belong to PDP

(2) GEJ as president doesn't know why he was president, so it is very easy to manipulate and pull him down

(3) both men are not members of APC and president BUHARI knows why is president of Nigeria. The difference is very clear

Nigeria is on SOS

Buhari is really confused...Baba, calm down,contest and be disgraced!!

Lol
