The
Federal Government has replied to Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe’s application
seeking to withdraw as one of the sureties for the leader of the proscribed
Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, describing the application as belated.
The
government, in its counter-affidavit and written address filed before the
Federal High Court in Abuja to oppose Abaribe’s request, told Abaribe that Kanu
was in his custody and he had to produce him for the continuation of his trial.
It
stated in its counter-affidavit that Abaribe was aware that Kanu “has long
violated the bail conditions handed down by this honourable court” on April 24,
2017 before September 11 when he claimed to have lost contact with the
defendant.
The
counter-affidavit read in part, “That it was at this point at violating the
conditions at the bail that the senator surety ought to surrender the 1st
defendant and or bring up this application; “That this application is belated
and ill-timed;
“The
applicant failed to apply to the court timeously, stating on oath that the
defendant bound by recognizance to appear before this court had violated the
bail condition given by this court.”
The
prosecuting counsel, Mr. Shuaibu Labaran, argued in the written address that
Abaribe “failed woefully” by allegedly aiding and abetting Kanu to flout his
bail conditions.
