Biafra: Court orders FG to serve `enrol order’ on Kanu’s sureties as Prosecution counsel kicks.

ABUJA - The Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday asked the Federal government’s counsel to serve an “enrolled order” that would enable sureties to leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, to produce him in court or to show cause why their bail bonds should not be forfeited.

Trial Justice Binta Nyako made the ruling when counsel to one of the sureties, Chukwuma Maduchukwu Umeh, SAN, pointed out that his client, Immanu-El Shalom Ben Madu, was not served with official court papers relating to the order made by the court in its previous ruling, demanding that the Prosecution serves the sureties with copies of the order as made by the court.

Also, in a joint application, lawyers to the three sureties argued that for the court to begin a forfeiture proceeding or issuance of bench warrant, it first requires serving an "enrolled order" to the sureties.

“My Lord, I stand to align myself clearly, and without any equivocation whatsoever the submission made by the applicants. But I will like to put straight the point that section 36 of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, requires that before any respondent be charged, a basis of fair hearing should be granted to that person. My client has never been served in any subject as regards to this matter,” Aloy Ejimakor, counsel to Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe stated.

However, in his counter motion, the Prosecution counsel, Shuaibu Labaran, asked the court to discountenance the application of the sureties, arguing that they conspired to delay prompt proceedings in the matter.

He said, “My Lord, may I start by saying that justice should not be sacrificed in the altar of illegality. This is leading me to the submission of counsel to the second applicant. He has been in this matter since 2017, portion of which the court has given categorical order requesting the applicants[the three sureties] to show cause, but filed an application before this Honourable Court, stating every details as to why the first applicant was not able to produce the first defendant which he took bail.

“An unfair argument goes to the submission of the larger counsel to the third applicant. My Lord, he has made a presentation, in writing, before your Lordship. Similarly, on our side, we have also joined issues with him and for them to conspire, to draw a setback in this proceedings which is grossly unfair to this Honourable court and indeed the Prosecution.

“We, therefore, urge My Lord, the discountenance of all their prayers and to proceed with the business of the day.”

However, in her ruling, the presiding judge, Justice Nyako granted the request of the applicants(sureties) even as she noted that the application was an evidence of their lack of readiness to proceed with the matter.

“Now I will tell you what I understand because this is the normal practice in this case. You are not ready, that is my understanding; because severally most of you have been here. I agree that maybe you have not been served an enrol order - it is possible. I have not gone through the parties to clarify that. If that is your complaint, it is okay. You have the right to be served with an enrol order. I shall make that order.

“But the bottom-line is that you people are never ready. You never want this case to go on. You did not conspire, you only agreed amongst yourselves.

You see, the important thing is this: once a case has been filed in court, one day or the other, it must be decided, either it is held and concluded or the merit is the case, or the prosecution will close it, or the Attorney General enters the body.

“The sureties are to be served with the order of this court, to show why they should not forfeit their bond or to produce the defendant in the next adjourned date, with the alternative to be committed to prison,” she stated.

Consequently, the Court adjourned till June 26, 2018, to give time for the order to enable the sureties to appear in court to explain the whereabouts of the IPOB leader or forfeit their bail bonds.

Meanwhile speaking to our Correspondent shortly after Wednesday’s proceedings, Kanu’s surety, Senator Enyinnaya who was present during the court’s proceeding, insisted he wasn’t served with the court order for summon but only learnt about it on newspapers.

Speaking through his lawyer, Mr. Aloy Ejimakor, Sen. Abaribe said, “We’re here because we heard it over the newspaper but we were not issued any order.

“We’re saying that if there’s an order on Senator Abaribe who has now facilitated the course of trial, that order ought to be served on him. We will now get prepared and enter the court and explain to them our stand on the matter.”

Hi folks, good to be here.

Herdsmen killings: Danjuma should apologise to Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB – Elliot Uko
Founder of Igbo Youth Movement, IYM, and Deputy Secretary of Igbo Leaders of Thought, ILT, Evangelist Elliot Ugochukwu Uko, has reacted to rtd. Gen. T Y Danjuma’s call for self defence against incessant killing of innocent Nigerians by Fulani herdsmen.

Uko said “Danjuma’s call on Nigerians to defend themselves came very late.”
He also said Danjuma and his group should apologise to Nnamdi Kanu and the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, who had earlier made the call to deaf ears.

He said the call was what the former Defence Minister should have made “since the advent of this administration.”

In a statement on Tuesday, Uko said, “We are watching. The only thing new is that Danjuma has confirmed what everybody has suspected about the military, which is that they have been protecting the killer herdsmen.

“The call on Nigerians to defend themselves against ethnic cleansing by Fulani herdsmen is belated.
“We had known that President Buhari’s agenda in appointing his kinsmen as heads of all the security agencies in the country was to protect the killer herdsmen in the heinous crimes against humanity.

“The security architecture is to allow his Fulani people embark on their Islamic Jihad or expansionist tendencies.

“Danjuma and his group should apologise to the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, who saw the emerging scenario and alerted Nigerians over the issue about four years ago.”

Danjuma was right on call for self-defence – Falana
Posted By: Robert Egbe On: March 28, 2018

Activist-lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), has backed the former Minister of Defence, Lt. Gen. Theophilus Danjuma (retd) on his call for Nigerians to defend themselves against killers.
Falana said the Constitution recognises the right to protect one’s self from violent attack.
He stated these at a training programme on libel organised by the Vintage Press Limited (publishers of The Nation Newspapers) for its reporters.
Falana was received by Vintage Press Managing Director, Victor Ifijeh; Chairman of the Newspaper’s Editorial Board, Sam Omatseye; General Manager Training and Development, Soji Omotunde and Managing, Editor Online and Special Publications, Lekan Otunfodurin, among others.
The lawyer, who noted that the media has been awash with suggestions that Danjuma’s comments are call to anarchy, said the retired army officer could sue critics of his statement for libel.
He said: “Some of the reactions on Danjuma’s statement could be libelous. What Danjuma said is accommodated under our Constitution.”
Falana observed that although Section 33(1) of the 1999 Constitution recognises the right to life, such right might be lawfully circumscribed in accordance with Section 33(2).
He added: “Section 33(2) says a person shall not be regarded as having been deprived of his life if he dies as a result of the use, to such extent and in such circumstances as are permitted by law, of such force as is reasonably necessary – for the defence of any person from unlawful violence or for the defence of property.
“If the government is unable to save you as in the case of Benue, Kogi and Zamfara attacks, you have a right to defend and save yourself.
“So, if you insult Danjuma that he is inciting violence, that could be a ground for him to sue you for libel.”

According to vanguard Newspapers
Court insists Abaribe, Jewish leader must produce Kanu or go to jail
Court okays service of court order on Abaribe, Jewish leader to produce Kanu
By Ikechukwu Nnochiri
ABUJA – Trial Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja, on Wednesday, okayed the service of enrolled orders on three persons that stood surety for the ‘missing’ leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu.
The court said they should be served with the order to enable them to appear before it on June 26 to show cause why they should not be committed to prison over Kanu’s repeated failure to appear for continuation of his trial, or why the N100million they individually deposited to secure his bail should not be forfeited to the Federal Government. Alternatively, the court said the surties were at liberty to produce the IPOB leader on the next adjourned date. Those the court directed should be served with copies of enrolled orders are Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe who is representing Abia South Senatorial District, a Jewish High Priest, Emmanu El- Salom Oka BenMadu, and an accountant, Mr. Tochukwu Uchendu.
Justice Nyako made the order after the three surties who were in court, through their respective lawyers, protested that they only read about the summon the court earlier issued against them, on the pages of newspapers. Abaribe’s lawyer, Mr. Chukwuma Umeh, SAN, told the court that his client attended the proceeding owing to his respect for the judiciary and the rule of law. He argued that Order 26 of the Federal High Court Rules made it mandatory that such order should be served on his client before he could be asked to show cause.
“We want to put it on record that the prosecution have till date, not served or made any effort to serve any enrolled order on my client. “A court order that is not served cannot be used against a party”, he argued. Counsel to the two other sureties, Mr. I. F. Chude and Aloy Ejimako, adopted Abaribe’s position, adding that section 36 of the 1999 constitution required that before anyone’s property is forfeited, such person must be granted fair hearing. On his part, government lawyer, Mr. Shuaibu Labaran, urged the court to ignore Abaribe and his co-defendants, saying “they have conspired to frustrate the hearing of this matter through technicalities”.
In a short ruling, Justice Nyako who noted that the three sureties raised a valid issue of law, directed that copies of enrolled orders be served on them before the close of work. It will be recalled that following an application FG made pursuant to section 179 (1) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, ACJA, 2015, the court, on October 10, 2017, summoned all the three surties. Justice Nyako formally issued an order against the surties on February 20, saying they should explain Kanu’s whereabouts of risk jail. Justice Nyako had on April 25, 2016, released Kanu on bail on health ground after he had spent a year and seven months in detention.
To secure Kanu’s release, Abaribe, El-Shalom and Uchendu, on April 28, signed an undertaking to ensure his attendance in court. Nevertheless, whereabouts of the IPOB leader has remained unknown since September last year. Abaribe had earlier prayed the court to de-list him as one of the sureties in the matter, stressing that Kanu “has not been seen again nor reached on phone by the Applicant, neither is he reported in any news media as seen by any person, nor made any statement on any issue”. Kanu was hitherto facing five-count treasonable felony charge alongside four pro-Biafra agitators- Bright Chimezie, Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi.
According to vanguard he imported Radio transmitter known as TRAM 50L, which was concealed in a container that was declared as used household items, for the purpose of using same to disseminate information about secession plans by the IPOB. FG alleged that Kanu had “on or about the 28th April, 2015 in London, United Kingdom did in a broadcast on Radio Biafra monitored in Enugu, Enugu state and other parts of Nigeria within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, referred to Major General Muhammadu Buhari, GCON, President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as a paedophile, a terrorist, an **** and an embodiment of evil, knowing same to be false and you thereby committed an offence contrary to section 375 of the Criminal Code Act, Cap C. 38 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004”. The court had since separated Kanu’s trial from that of his co-defendants.
