The All Progressives Congress (APC) petitions Nigeria’s Inspector General of Police to investigate, arrest and prosecute Abayomi Hunye over allegations that he is parading himself as the party’s governorship candidate for Ogun State. Both outlets report that the petition requests legal action against Hunye based on what the APC describes as misconduct within its candidate-selection process.
Premium Times and Vanguard both frame the move as part of an ongoing APC dispute in Ogun State. Vanguard describes the “crisis” within the party deepening, while Premium Times focuses specifically on the procedural demands made to law enforcement. Neither outlet provides details of any police response or court outcome, nor does it substantively present Hunye’s side or any evidence cited in the petition. The reporting centers on the act of petitioning the IGP and the request for arrest and prosecution.
Overall, the accounts agree on the key points: the APC leadership’s role, the target being Hunye, the grounds tied to alleged self-presentation as governorship candidate, and the direction to the IGP for enforcement action.
