Posted by: tony in Politics Oct 24, 2017

Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe who represents Abia South Senatorial District, has responded to the Federal Government’s claim that he is hiding the leader Of the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu and should provide Kanu to answer his case.

The Senator in his response denied the claims, stating that he has no clue as to the whereabouts of Nnamdi Kanu and cannot be hiding him in his custody when he knows the IPOB leader has a case to answer in court.

Recall that the Federal Government had earlier replied to Senator’s application seeking to withdraw as one of the sureties for Kanu, they described the application as too late.

The Federal Government, however, stated in its counter-affidavit that Abaribe was aware that Kanu �has long violated the bail conditions handed down by this honourable court” on April 24, 2017 before September 11 when he claimed to have lost contact with the defendant.

The counter-affidavit read;

�That it was at this point at violating the conditions at the bail that the senator surety ought to surrender the 1st defendant and or bring up this application; That this application is belated and ill-timed;

�The applicant failed to apply to the court timeously, stating on oath that the defendant bound by recognizance to appear before this court had violated the bail condition given by this court.”
