Insisting on the need for Audu’s arrest, Favour stressed the potential consequences of such investigations on various institutions.
When asked about the possibility of the reporter’s efforts revealing loopholes that needed addressing, the NANS president acknowledged the importance of addressing any identified issues.
However, he urged the government to promptly investigate the matter and take necessary actions to rectify the situation.
