The Tanimu Turaki, factional National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has appealed a bench warrant issued for his arrest by a High Court in the Federal Capital Territory, Maitama, and filed an application seeking a stay of execution.
The warrant was issued on Thursday by Justice Peter Kekemeke after Turaki failed to appear in court for his arraignment on a charge of allegedly giving false information to the police.
In a statement issued shortly after the ruling, Turaki’s office confirmed that his legal team had filed an appeal against the bench warrant, along with an application for a stay of execution.
