Kassim Afegbua

The Inspector -General of Police, Mr Ibrahim Idris has ordered the immediate arrest of Kaseem Afegbua, media aide to former military president, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida.

Afegbua is being wanted for allegedly making false statements, injurious falsehood, defamation of character and for act capable of inciting public disturbance.

A statement by the FPRO, CSP Jimoh Moshood on Monday in Abuja, said Afegbua should report to the nearest police station in the country.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Afegbua in a purported statement, quoted Babangida as asking President Muhammadu Buhari not to  seek reelection.

But the former president denied the claim by the aide in a statement  he personally signed.
