Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer, Barr Aloy Ejimakor at a press conference today revealed what stopped sureties of the IPOB leader from producing him in court. Barr Aloy Ejimakor who denied that sureties to the leader of separatist group applied to the Justice Binta Nyako-led Federal High Court Abuja to withdraw their suretyship, blamed their inability to produce Kanu on the invasion of his (Kanu’s) house by military personnel.
Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer who claimed that the sureties
have been fighting to stay on as he revealed what stopped them from the
IPOB Leader in court, said at the press conference in Awka;
“On
the matter of revocation of Kanu’s bail and the consequent Order of
bench warrant, I, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, Counsel to one of the
sureties and a Special Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, hereby issue the
following this statement. The reports in the media quoting Justice Binta
Murtala-Nyako as stating (when revoking Nnamdi Kanu’s bail on March 28,
2019) that the ‘three sureties who bailed Kanu had applied to the court
to withdraw their suretyship’ is inaccurate.
“I should know
because I represent one of the sureties and we never made such
application or anything close to it. That argument is still pending a
hearing in a suretyship proceedings that was adjourned sine die at the
time of the entry of the Order of bail revocation and the ensuing bench
warrant.
“For the foregoing reasons, we are currently studying
the record of proceedings of the said March 28 hearing to see whether it
will be necessary for the sureties to file fresh processes to protect
the integrity of their suretyship relationship with Nnamdi Kanu, which
is still valid and subsisting.”
