Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, the principal surety to the embattled self-acclaimed Biafran leader, Nnamdi Kanu may on July 26 apply for refund of his N100M forfeited to the federal government when Kanu jumped bail.

Kanu, who jumped bail since 2019, has just been rearrested and will appear in Federal High Court for continuation of his criminal trial on terrorism charges.

The senator representing Abia North Senatatorial district in the Senate had forfeited the huge sum in liue of his inability to produce Kanu in court to face the criminal trial.

Abaribe was said to have been given opportunities five times to produce Kanu as required by law but could not meet up.

In one of his appearances in court, the Senator has alleged that that the federal government caused Kanu to jump bail and escaped out of the country when armed soldiers allegedly invaded his family house.

He prayed the court to hold the federal government responsible for the escape and spare him the pain of forfeiting the bail bonds

Justice Binta Nyako, however, rejected the prayers of the surety and ordered him to either forfeit the bail bonds or stand in place of Kanu for criminal trial on terrorism and reasonable felony punishable with either death or life imprisonment.

The Senate minority leader was said to have subsequently opted for lesser punishment and thereafter forfeited the huge sum.

Although DAILY POST could not reach Abaribe for comments, one of his lawyers, Maxwell Okpara, said that the legal team of Abaribe will apply for refund of the money for their client.

“It is a settled law that once escapee defendant in a criminal matter is rearrested, the surety who forfeited bond must be refunded.


“It does not matter whether the escapee accused person is rearrested by the surety or somebody else as in the instant matter. The bottom line is that our client must be refunded to the tune of N100M he had earlier forfeited in the course of the suretyship,” the lawyer said.

He can never be refunded 100m. What happened to the expenses incurred by the government in the process that leads to his re arrest, what happened to the crime he had instigate ever since he jumped bail, It seems this man actually want to be tried for aiding terrorism?

I too know...

This people sef

So he used the dot nation 1k tshirts to claim his 100m


Sharp guy

Hmmm

If I hear!!! "No refund after payment"

Did Abaribe comply with the terms and conditions as a surety? 

He was to ensure Nnamdi kanu appear in court as scheduled but he couldn't.

If the govt is to sum up the amount spent on intelligence gathering that culminated in his arrest, I'm sure it will be more than 100m. By implication, Abaribe may end up paying more, so leave matter for mathias.

Take it or leave it, the court is fvcking 100m richer.

Nna mehnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

These dot people no dey gree let the empty circle rest oooooooo

Emu4life:
This Abaribe is smart. He's manipulating his constituents, giving them what they want to hear/see and subtly dodging from his main purpose of being in the NASS. So long as you are antagonizing Buhari, even if you don't carry out your constitutional duties, those primitive beings are ok by it. *spits*

Words of a sensible man.
It is always good and refreshing to see we still have reasonable and sensible members like you on this forum.
God bless you for standing with the truth always.

Evil people don't end well...nor be curse,na fact

You are 100% right and correct Afonjaconehead!
No evil person on this forum and Nigeria as a whole will end well in life.
They and every members of their families above 18 years of age will suffer for the rest of their lives.

Can we get a big AMEN ?!

As seen somewhere on cyberspace....

More about this foolish animal that should be locked up with the mental animal he stood for as surety.....

Every sane person on Nairaland : please thumbs up to this sane man here.
Correct Man wey sabi!

This is a lesson to other southern freedom fighters... Apply wisdom, the masses you think you’re fighting for are still in love with their oppressor.

In fact, they are contented in their suffering and smiling way of life subjected to them by their oppressors, it’s some of these same masses you think you’re fighting for that will wish for your downfall.

Those that run the affair of this godforsaken contraption called Nigeria are wicked, heartless and brutal... They gain more seeing masses suffer and live in abject poverty, so they(northern oligarchy) will do EVERYTHING it takes to silence any individual or groups (especially from southern Nigeria ) that try to save the oppressed(masses) from their chain of suffering, poverty etc.

Nigeria masses isn’t worth fighting for , seems they are destine to suffering and smiling.
