Police reveals Ayade wrote petition against Jalingo; activist evaded invitation
The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has said revealed why media activist Aga Jalingo was arrested on the weekend and flown from Lagos to Abuja.
In a statement issued by its spokesperson, DSP Josephine Adeh, the FCT police said the arrest followed a petition filed against the activist by one Elizabeth Ayade, the wife of Cross Rivers Gov. Ben Ayade’s brother.
Ayade reported Jalingo for false allegation, in which the journalist claimed that Elizabeth paid one Mr. Pascal to write an examination for her at the law school.
“Upon the receipt of this petition, we went ahead to invite Mr. Agba Jalingo, but he refused to come, leaving the police with no option but to secure an arrest warrant, which is why he was arrested in Lagos.
“The investigation is currently ongoing and the unraveled facts will be communicated subsequently”, the PPRO added.
Earlier in Lagos, Jalingo raised the alarms when he said his house was surrounded, and he didn’t know why—and who sent the police officers.
