ISLAMABAD: Following the accountability court’s decision in the Avenfield Apartments reference, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Friday started the process to arrest former Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz Sharif after issuance of their arrest warrants.
According to NAB sources, Captain (R) Muhammad Safdar who is in Pakistan will be arrested after obtaining his arrests warrants from the accountability court.
“The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government will also be approached for assistance in arresting Captain (R) Safdar after the issuance of arrest warrants from the accountability court,” he said.
Moreover, the NAB has received a certified copy of the judgment.
Sources in the NAB told The News that a NAB Lahore team, led by Imran Dogar, was in Islamabad to collect arrest warrants from the accountability court to implement its orders.
