NNPP Chieftain, Shittu, Seeks Arrest Of Aniebonam, Others

A chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Alhaji Asiwaju Mashood Shittu, has called on the leadership of the various security agencies to arrest some expelled members of the party.

Shittu said those who should be arrested for engaging in acts capable of breaching the peace included a former chairman of the party, Dr. Boniface Aniebonam, a former national public secretary, Mr. Agbo Major.

In a statement Shittu signed yesterday, which was made available to newsmen in Abuja, Shittu said the affected former members of the party had been parading themselves as leaders of NNPP despite their expulsion from it by the National Working Committee (NWC) and other body of the party for various offences.

Shittu acted that their expulsion from the party came after series of court judgements that affirms the leadership of the party under Dr. Ajuji Ahmed and now parading themselves as imposters.

“I am appealing to the Inspector General of Police, Director of security services as well as the leadership of the other security agencies to act swiftly by arresting these expelled former members of the party.

“The arrest should be made to guarantee the integrity of the NNPP as a corporate entity made up of credible and decent personalities,” he said.
