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