Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, has
told the Federal High Court in Abuja to visit the home of the leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, in Abia State.
Abaribe is one of the three
sureties of the missing IPOB leader.
Abaribe told Justice Binta Nyako
to visit the IPOB leader’s home allegedly invaded by soldiers in Abia State in
September.
Justice Nyako on Tuesday
adjourned Kanu’s trial until February 20, 2018.
The Senator, whose motion seeking
the court’s order to compel the Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen. Tukur Buratai, to
produce Kanu, is still pending in court, filed his fresh motion on December 4,
2017.
The motion, filed by Abaribe’s
lawyer, Chukwuma-Machukwu Ume, SAN, ureged the court to visit and make physical
inspection of Nnamdi Kanu’s residence, at Isiama, Afaraukwu Ibeku Umuahia Abia
State.
He also alleged subsequent arrest
and “taking away of Kanu by the Nigerian Army.”
As part of the grounds for the
motion, Abaribe contended that Kanu was at his residence before and all through
the period of September 11 to 14, 2017 at Isiama Afaraukwu Ibeku , when the
house was allegedly invaded by soldiers.
His lawyer stated, “Applicant’s
agent has been severally prevented by agents of the Nigerian Army (6th
respondent) as well as other security agents from accessing the residence of
Kanu at (Isiama Afaraukwu Ibeku ) as to show the court the characters of the
invasion and occupation of Kanu and the eventual arrest and taking away of Kanu
by the staff and agents of the Army.
“The applicant is desirous of the
court seeing and examining Kanu’s residence which has been stated as an
evidence before the court.
“The application will help the
court and indeed the applicant in the determination of his application before
this court.”
