A Federal High Court in Abuja, on
Tuesday, ordered Abia Senator, Eyinnaya Abaribe to remain in detention of the
Department of State Services, DSS.
The Justice Binta Nyako-led court
gave the order while turning down Abaribe’s application for his release from
DSS custody.
In her ruling, Justice Nyako said
she could not order Abaribe’s release because she was not the judge who ordered
his arrest.
The judge held that the
circumstances that resulted in Abaribe’s recent arrest were not before her.
She expressed dissatisfaction
with counsel on both sides about their manner of handling of the case, saying
she will not mind prolonging the matter if they were not serious.
Abaribe was one of the sureties
who signed the bail bond of the elusive leader of the Indigenous People of
Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.
Shortly after his release, Kanu
has not been seen in public.
