No arrest warrant issued against Senator Uba - Aide

- A media report that suggests a court granted a leave for the order of the arrest of Senator Andy Uba is false

This was the stance of the media office of the All Progressives Congress (APC) sentor The report was described as false and
mischievous

The media office of Senator Andy Uba has denied a report suggesting that a Federal High Court sitting in FCT Abuja
had issued an order of arrest for the APC senator .

In a statement sent to NATIONALFOCUS NEWS today,
Friday, March 9, the senator's aides described the report as misleading, stating that the court under justice Binta
Nyako never granted such an order.

Senator Uba's aides say the media reports suggesting an order was issued for his arrest are false.

Part of the statement read: “We read with much dismay the news that a court of law
had issued an arrest warrant for Senator Andy Uba, our principal. At first, we decided to ignore the article but on second thought we decided to dispel the rumour for the sake of the records. “From the facts available, we can clearly state that the court under Justice Binta Nyako did not agree with the Anti Corruption and Integrity Forum its application which sought to compel the
Inspector General of Police to arrest and prosecute Senator Uba. “One wonders how you can force the IGP to investigate or arrest Senator Uba for an
offence he did not commit? Let us remind Nigerians that the ACIF has been engaged
in an unholy act of shielding one Victor Uwajeh, a man who is standing trial on a four count charge bothering on fraud,
impersonation and forgery.

“The ACIF who are cronies of Uwajeh thought that by approaching the courts to
arm twist the IGP, they would have achieve spectacular coup and attract negative publicity to Senator Uba.

“Acting in accordance with the law, Justice Nyako denied this application describing it as an abuse of court process,
before going on to dismiss the suit itself.

“We therefore enjoin all Nigerians and supporters of Senator Uba to disregard
these reports.”
