Former military President Ibrahim Babangida’s media spokesman, Kassim Afegbua, on Wednesday reported at the police headquarters in Abuja in response to the invitation extended to him by the police.

He did two days after he was declared wanted, and it was more of a joyful meeting than hitherto thought.

“At the Police Headquarters to present myself as a responsible Nigerian who was never on the run,” Afegbua, the former Edo State Commissioner for Information wrote on Facebook.

He was accompanied by his lawyers, Kayode Ajulo.

Afegbua released a statement on behalf of his principal on Sunday calling on President Muhammadu Buhari not to seek re-election in 2019. He was invited to answer questions over the statement with many condemning the police invitation.

The police had declared him wanted over the said statement which contradicts the one Babangida was said to have released later on the same day.

On Monday, the police accused Afegbua of “making false statements, defamation of character and for an act capable of instigating public disturbance throughout the country,” hence they decalred him wanted.

The police  advised him to report to the nearest police station anywhere in the country.

But Afegbua sued the Nigeria Police Force, the Inspector-General of Police and two media houses for alleged harassment and persecution over his ordeal.

In the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/129/2018, which was filed before the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday, Afegbua asked for N1 bilion as damages for the breach of his fundamental human rights.
