Answering a question about NAB’s preparation for his detention on arrival at Lahore airport, Nawaz Sharif said that the question should be asked from NAB authorities that why did they hire a helicopter to arrest him.
Earlier, National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has taken all necessary measures to directly move former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz to Adiala jail via a helicopter from Lahore airport said sources.
According to sources, the former premier and his daughter will be moved to Adiyala prison via helicopter, for which director general (DG) of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Lahore has also written a letter to the NAB chief.
DG NAB Lahore Shehzad Saleem, through his letter, requested the NAB chairman to provide a helicopter for transferring the two high-profile figures, who were recently sentenced to 11 and eight years respectively in prison in the Avenfield properties case.
The sources said the accountability court judge would also be requested to come to the prison administratively.
The letter read that a rally will be held in Lahore on the arrival of the former premier, according to sources, which may create difficulties in arresting the father-daughter duo. The law and order situation in Lahore may also deteriorate because of the rally, it said.
The sources further informed that Nawaz and Maryam will be arrested from the airport, adding that the NAB chairman will contact the Ministries of Interior and Defence for providing a helicopter.
Last week, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif was sentenced to a total of 11 years in prison and slapped a £8 million fine (Rs1.3 billion) in the Avenfield properties reference, while his daughter Maryam was sentenced to eight years with a £2 million fine (Rs335 million).
