‎IPOB: Court orders Abaribe, others to produce Nnamdi Kanu in court Tuesday

Senator Enyinaya Abaribe and two others, who guaranteed the bail of the leader of the proscribed IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu have been ordered to produce him in court on Tuesday, or risk jail terms.

Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, in Abuja, on Monday, had fixed the date after the court ordered the prosecution to serve the sureties with an earlier order of court demanding them to appear in court and explain the whereabouts of Kanu or show cause why they should not forfeit their bail bond.

Abaribe, who is representing Abia South Senatorial District, Immanuel El-Shalom a Jewish Chief High Priest and a Chartered Accountant residing in Abuja, Mr. Tochukwu Uchendu, had on April 28, entered an undertaken to produce Kanu before the court to face his trial, and deposited a whooping sum of N100 million each.

Kanu who is the first defendant is facing four out of the five-count amended charge preferred against him and four others, whose trial have since been separated from that of Kanu.

It will be recalled that Justice Nyako had, in a ruling on April 25, released Kanu on bail after he had spent a year and seven months in detention, though the court okayed his co-defendants to remain in prison custody.

Consequently, Abaribe and the two others had on April 28, entered an undertaken to produce Kanu before the court to face his trial, and deposited a whooping sum of N100m each.
