Christian Rowland writing for ODOGWU MEDIA....Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday ordered Senator Eyninnaya Abaribe, and two others standing as sureties for the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, to explain the IPOB leader’s whereabouts.
Kanu who was granted bail by
the judge on April 24, 2017, was absent from court on Tuesday when his trial
was billed to commence.
But
his three co-defendants were produced in court by prison officials.
Kanu’s lawyer, Mr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, told the judge that Kanu had
been missing after soldiers allegedly invaded the IPOB leader’s home on
September 14, 2017, adding that the Nigerian Army was in the best position to
produce the defendant.
A lawyer, Mr. Ogechi Ogunna, appeared for Abaribe on Tuesday,
informing the judge that his client had filed a motion seeking to be
discharged as Kanu’s surety.
The two other sureties, Immanuel Shalum Okabenmabu and Tochukwu
Uchendu, were absent from court and not represented by any lawyer on Tuesday.
But Justice Nyako said Abaribe’s motion could not be heard
until Kanu was produced in court.
The judge gave the senator three options.
One of the options was for Abaribe to produce the defendant in
court and then apply to be discharged as a surety.
The other option the judge gave was for Abaribe to be ready to
forfeit his N100m bail bond.
The third option was for Abaribe to request to be given time to
produce the defendant in court.
But Ogunna replied saying, “he (Abaribe) is not in a position to
do any of these.”
However the judge insisted that Abaribe must opt for one of the
three options.
With the judge’s insistence, Ogunna opted to be given time to
produce him.
The two other sureties were not represented I court on Tuesday.
Earlier, prosecuting counsel, Mr. Shuaibu Labaran, noting that
Kanu was not present in court, urged the judge to revoke defendant’s bail,
order for his arrest, and direct the defendants’ three sureties “to show cause
why the bail bond of N100m entered into by each shall not be forfeited or they
be committed to prison.”
The trial was been adjourned until November 20
