Judge orders Abaribe, others to pay N100m over Kanu’s absence
The Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the three persons , including Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe , who stood sureties for the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra , Nnamdi Kanu , to within two months, pay the sum of N 100 m each into the court ’ s account for their inability to produce the missing Biafran activist in court .
Justice Binta Nyako gave the order on Wednesday in a ruling in which she amended the conditions of the bail she had in April 2017 granted Kanu .
Kanu is being prosecuted before the court on charges of treasonable felony .
His trial had been earlier separated from that of his co -accused following his disappearance after a military invasion of his home in Afara – Ukwu, Umuahia , in Abia State , on September 14 , 2017
The three sureties who guaranteed his bail had been made to sign a bail bond of N 100 m each which was backed by their landed assets whose documents were deposited in court .
But with the amendment ordered by the court on Wednesday , they are now required to deposit cash of N 100 m in the bank account of the court .
Justice Nyako ruled that the three sureties had two months to pay the sum of N 100 m each into the court ’ s account .
The judge reiterated that the order directing the sureties to pay the money was an order of interim forfeiture .
She fixed March 28 for the hearing of the motions filed by the sureties to challenging the duties imposed on them to produce the IPOB leader.
