A High Court in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has issued a bench warrant for the arrest of Kabiru Turaki, a factional national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), following his failure to appear before the court.
Justice U.P. Kekemeke issued the warrant on Thursday, ruling that the former minister had provided no valid justification for his absence from the proceedings.
The warrant stems from a one-count charge filed against Turaki by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP). The charge alleges that Turaki provided false information to the police in a petition dated October 2022.
