The Nigerian Government on
Tuesday appealed to an Abuja Federal High Court to revoke the bail of Nnamdi
Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
The prosecuting counsel, Shuaibu
Labaran gave the call while drawing the attention of the Justice Binta
Nyako-led court to the fact that the IPOB leader was not in court for his
hearing.
Labaran prayed the court to
revoke Kanu’s bail, order his re-arrest and direct the defendants’ three
sureties “to show cause why the bail bond of N100m entered into by each shall
not be forfeited or they be committed to prison.”
Earlier, the Nyako-led court had
ordered Senator Eyninnaya Abaribe, and two others standing as sureties for Kanu
to explain the whereabouts of the IPOB leader.
But, Abaribe pleaded with the
court for time to produce the IPOB leader because his whereabouts is unknown.
The other two sureties, Immanuel
Shalum Okabenmabu and Tochukwu Uchendu, were, however, absent and were not
represented by any lawyer on Tuesday.
Kanu’s counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor
also insisted that the Nigerian Army are in the best position to explain the
whereabouts of his client, who has not been seen or heard from since September
14 when they allegedly invaded his residence in Umuahia, Abia State.
Justice Nyako, has adjourned the
matter till November 20.
