The declaration was contained in a statement on Monday by the Force Public Relations Officer, Jimoh Moshood.
Moshood said in the statement: “The Inspector General of Police has ordered the immediate arrest of Kashim Afegbua for making false statements, injurious falsehood, defamation of character and for act capable of Inciting PUBLIC disturbance throughout the country.
“He is therefore declared wanted by the Nigeria Police Force and should report at the nearest Police Station anywhere he is in the country.”
Afegbua had on Sunday issued a statement in which the retired General called for a change in leadership of the country in 2019.
The statement, which called for the younger generation to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019, was later watered down with another one.
However, Babangida has since distanced himself from the second statement, affirming he stands by the statement issued by Afegbua, who has been his spokesman for 14 years.
