Federal high Court rules in Abaribe, FFK case over the escape of nnamdi kanu

Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja, has ordered that Senator
Eyinnaya Abaribe , Femi Fani-Kayode and Emmanuel Shallom Ben , all of whom stood sureties for the bail of the leader of the now proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu in April last year, pay the sum of N100m each into the court’s account for their inability to produce the missing Biafran leader who went missing in September last year.

Recall that in April 2017, Justice Nyako granted Kanu bail. Kanu was arrested in October 2015 and has been standing trial on charges of treasonable felony.
Kanu's trial had been stalled since he went missing after a military invasion of his home in Abia state in September last year. Kanu however resurfaced in Israel in October this year. He has vowed to return to Nigeria to continue his trial.

The three sureties who guaranteed his bail had been made to sign a bail bond of N100m each which was backed by their landed assets whose documents were deposited in court. Justice Nyako this morning amended the conditions of the bails she gave in April 2017. The three sureties are now required to deposit cash of N100m in the bank account of the court. She ruled that the three sureties had two months to pay the sum of N100m 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.

What Is Going On In Trump's Mind As He Stares @ King Of Morocco Sleeping In an Event in France (video)

Dozens of world leaders met in the French capital last Sunday for the opening of the inaugural Paris Peace Forum, hosted by French President, Emmanuel Macron. Donald Trump appeared to glare at the King of Morocco after he appeared to fall asleep during Emmanuel Macron’s Armistice Day speech. TV cameras captured Mohammed VI slumped with his head bowed and his eyes closed at the gathering of world leaders to mark 100 years since the end of the First World War. While Melania Trump, who was sitting next to the royal, appeared not to notice, her husband looked intently at the monarch for several seconds. Mr Trump’s expression was described on social media as a “side-eye death stare” or “stink eye”. He had earlier sat stony-faced as Mr Macron warned of the dangers of nationalism during a 20-minute speech next to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Paris.

Antonio Rudiger gave the Blues a first-half lead, before Anthony Martial put United ahead with a brace in the second half.  With Mourinho’s men looking to take all three points, Ross Barkley struck the equalizer in the 97th minute of play. “We weren’t there in the first half against Newcastle, but today we were there. In the first half we weren’t aggressive enough. We controlled their triggers. I’ve never seen Jorginho play so little as he did today. “After the 2-1 we had great positions to score the third goal and I hope every referee does the same as Mike Dean to give 6 minutes. “Normally when I’m losing I don’t have 5 or 6 or 7 minutes,” Mourinho told Sky Sports.  He also spoke on his bust-up with Chelsea coach, Marco Ianni, after Barkley scored. According to the Portuguese, Maurizio Sarri has promised to deal with the matter inte...
