The lawmaker representing Abia North Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, on Tuesday appeared in court for another case by security operatives, days after he was arrested by the Department of State Service (DSS).
Ababribe was brought before the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday, over his suretyship for the missing leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
The court had asked him to show cause alongside two other sureties for the self-styled leader, why they should not forfeit the N100 million bail bond they signed to effect Mr Kanu’s bail.
Meanwhile, when the judge arrived, Ababaribe’s lawyer, Mr Chukwuma Umeh, attempted to raise the issue of his client’s detention with the DSS, but the judge interjected and informed him that such a case was not before her court and that she was not aware of why the lawmaker was arrested.
According to the judge, the senator and the two other sureties of the IPOB leader, were in court to show cause why they should not forfeit their bail bond for the missing accused.
She, however, asked the DSS to allow Ababaribe access to his lawyers as doing otherwise would be denying him his fundamental rights to justice.
