The chairman of a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, Tanimu Turaki (SAN), has filed an appeal challenging a High Court bench warrant issued against him, describing the order as unjust and seeking its immediate reversal.
Turaki, in a statement issued on Thursday through his Principal Private Secretary, Ibrahim Abdullahi, clarified that the matter is not connected to the PDP.
Earlier on Thursday, a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, sitting in Maitama, issued a bench warrant against Turaki (SAN) over allegations of providing false information to the police in a petition he submitted as a private citizen in 2022.
