The government denied that Kanu is in the Nigerian army's custody or any other security operatives custody. Recall that NAIJ.com previously reported that Senator Abaribe, representing Abia south senatorial district prayed to the Federal High Court in Abuja to relieve him of his duty as one of Kanu's sureties.

The affidavit stated 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. It stated: “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.” The prosecuting counsel, Shuaibu Labaran, argued in the written address that Abaribe “failed woefully” by allegedly aiding and abetting Kanu to flout his bail conditions. In a written address from Labaran, he argued that Abaribe was guilty of aiding and abetting Kanu. The written address read: “My lord, the surety has failed woefully to abide by the terms of the contract he entered into with this court and therefore cannot claim frustration. “My lord, we urge that the court hold, that surety having refused to do what he ought to have done pursuant to section 174 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015 aided and abetted the 1st defendant in the flouting of the bail conditions of this court and should forfeit the bond he entered into.”

In the same week that my child was born, a friend of mine was giving away her daughter in marri...
