Abaribe stated this in a fresh motion he filed before the court where he and Kanu’s two other sureties had been ordered to explain the IPOB leader’s whereabouts. But Abaribe was present in court on Monday. He noted that the conduct of the COAS with deployment of the soldiers were with “most probable effect” of preventing him (Kanu) from attending court to continue his trial. Abaribe stands to lose the property if he is adjudged to have failed to adequately play his role as a surety. But in his motion, the senator insisted that Buratai should bear the payment of the bail bond if Kanu was not produced in court.
