The Federal High Court in Abuja has asked the prosecution to issue an enrolled order for the appearance before it of three sureties in the trial of leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

Mr. Kanu, who is facing trial for alleged treason, was required to be produced in court by his sureties. He has not been seen after since September 2017.

Justice Binta Nyako had asked the sureties to either explain why their N100 million bond should not be forfeited, produce the defendant or be remanded in prison.

Although the court repeatedly made the order, the prosecution was yet to serve the defence counsel with the court summons on the matter.

Mrs. Nyako adjourned the case for the sureties to respond to the demand by the court.

At the resumption of the matter, however, a counsel for the sureties, Chukwuma_Machukwu Umeh, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, said his client had not been served with court papers relating to the order made by the judge.

He therefore made a fresh application for an order of court demanding that the prosecution serves the sureties with copies of the order, as made by the court.
Mr. Umeh argued that responding to the verbal order could render the entire process legally defective.

The other lawyers in the defence team aligned themselves with Mr. Umeh’s application.

In his response, the prosecution counsel, Shaibu Labaran, urged the court to resist sacrificing the demand for justice on the altar of technicalities.

Mr. Labaran disagreed with the submission of the defence that an enrolled order was necessary to ensure compliance to the instructions made in court.

He described the fresh application as a “conspiracy” to set back the matter before the court and demanded its dismissal.

In a reaction to comments made by the prosecution, Mr. Umeh demanded the withdrawal of the word: “conspiracy,” used by Mr Labaran and urged the court to uphold his application.

The judge granted the request by the defense, but noted that the application was an evidence of their lack of readiness to proceed with the matter.

“What is clear is that you are not ready,” said Mrs Nyako.

“The sureties are to be served with the order of this court: to show cause why they should not forfeit their bond or to produce the defendant in the next adjourned date, with the alternative to go to prison,” she added.

Mr. Kanu’s sureties are a senator, Eyinnaya Abaribe, a Jewish priest, Immanuu-El Shalom, and an accountant resident in Abuja, Tochukwu Uchendu.

The Nigerian legal system sure moves slow. I feel like this is 4th time they adjourned this issue. Anyway after serving them papers will court accept their explanation to why they can't produce kanu.

I don't know why it is taking them so much time to Jail this useless Abaribe.

When he was romancing ipob pigs and their urine provider-Nnamdi Cownu, where did he keep his brain?

Please They should conclude this case asap! I hate pigs!

Foolish judge. What do you expect from a graduate that spent 5years in strike, then studies law in one year.

How will you task the sureties to produce Nnamdi Kanu when it is clear that your foolish soldiers attacked a person whose case is still in the court

This bitch of a judge is simply playing her Islamic role .
The fat cow should be asking the nigeria army for kanu .

me i almost forgot that the idiot ran away oo

And the hunchback Albino is somewhere in Ghana enjoying Pizza and Puzza

Lol, yo that dude still hiding?

So senator Abaribe will go to prison that's interesting.can this coward show up .

Do you guys think anytging interesting will happen in next court appearance. We can assume they going to stick to defence of Army kidnapping kanu. Will they have to give pay up or go to jail. Going by pattern they just adjourn again.

Nice one Justice Nyako, send them to jail if they fail to produce the Albino.

Why are afonja rejoicing You claimed to hate Igbos and want them out of Nigeria, yet you are happy when federal republic of cows fight them to remain in Nigeria.
What a bunch of sophisticated fools who wants to remain the slaves of Fulani cows just because their region offers Nigeria nothing. No wonder sanusi their demi god said yellowba are the problems of Nigeria.

Pathetic vultures

Hmm, so I guess he's alive if his people have not applied for a production order against the government, and the courts (which are hardly independent ) are asking the sureties for him . ..

unqualified judge, shithole country, brain dead President, tribaliatic afonjas, blood sucking hausas/fulanis Nigeria is doomed

Produce KANU ke?

Is he a product?

Am wondering,if Kanu was a product,what kind of product will he be?

ogaJona:
unqualified judge, shithole country, brain dead President, tribaliatic afonjas, blood sucking hausas/fulanis Nigeria is doomed

see frustration

Okoroawusa:

see frustration

says who, so stating the obvious situation of Nigeria is being frustrated? you see the problem of this shithole

Oh God what is all this now? The courts should just order the forfeiture of the N300 million bail bond money to the FG already. The road linking Daura to my village is in a state of disrepair, N300 million will go a long way in seeing to its rehabilitation .I also want to see the 3 sureties in jail too

Then I ask is ipob sincerely the problem of this country that the fg and its proxies develop muscles on?

Have we not seen terrorists granted freedom and negotiated with both in £ and prisoner exchange?

Have we not seen Fulani herdsmen kill with unparalleled freedom without justice?

What is really special about this case?

Whether you like NK or not? his predictions are what we are currently experiencing im Nigeria with these herdsmen. I give it to him.

Eyah! I can imagine how painful this is... Wedding MC

Lol,

The same Mrs Nyako once upon a time according to IPOB was the best dispenser of justice when her proceedings favoured IPOB. Now she is simply playing her Islamic role. This is how the brain of an average IPOB is wired. When is Trump, Putin and Netanyahu coming to set the zoo ablaze?

Always beating chest as usual. Plenty chests were beaten about how the zoo will go up in flames if anything happened to kanu. The carcass of that same kanu must have been eaten by some wild pigs, a single match was not lit in the zoo. Another chest beating on kanu surety is now the trend. If he is locked up, it will still end up in chest thumping.
