Afegbua, IBB aide declared wanted
The police yesterday declared Kassim Afegbua, former military president Gen. Ibrahim Babangida’s spokesman, wanted.
This is in connection with the controversy over Sunday’s statements by the former leader on President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
Two statements were issued within hours – both credited to Gen. Babangida – on the performance of the Federal Government under Buhari.
The second with Babangida’s name, which disowned the first statement, rather cautioned the political class against finding “freedom as an avenue for eroding democracy by antics of hate speeches under the guise of religion”, adding that “this trend of pitching political class and the people against one another is unhealthy and must be discouraged by all and sundry.”
But Afegbua said he stood by his statement.
Yesterday, police spokesman Jimoh Moshood told our reporter that Afegbua had been advised to report immediately to the nearest police station.
He said: ”The inspector-General of Police has ordered his arrest and the police have declared him wanted for giving false statement, defamation of character and acts capable of inciting public disturbance.
“He should report to any nearest police position.
