The case was initiated by the Inspector-General of Police, who accused Turaki of giving false information in a petition submitted in October 2022. The charge against him is based on a single count linked to that allegation.

During the court session, the judge considered his failure to attend as a breach of legal process, leading to the decision to compel his appearance through arrest.


The development adds to the ongoing issues within the PDP, as internal divisions continue while legal matters involving some of its leaders are being handled in court.
