Abaribe who is representing Abia South Senatorial District prayed the court to discharge his Kanu’s surety. The lawmaker said he has not seen nor heard from Kanu since September 11. He told the court that the Nigerian Army had in the course of military operations in Abia State from September 11, visited Kanu’s residence, saying it was reported in the media that there was shooting and fracas during the visit.

He said; “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”.

Abaribe told the court that he; “lacks capacity to produce a person stated by the 1^st Respondent to be a member of a terrorist organisation, or any person whom the 1^st Respondent is reported to be interested in his whereabouts including the aftermath of the military operations in Abia State which commenced about 11^th September, 2017”.

Specifically, Abaribe is praying the court for, “An order of this honourable court discharging the applicant as surety of the 1^st/2^nd respondent, and discharging the recognizance entered into by the applicant, and to discharge the applicant from the entire incidence of the bail of Nnamdi Kanu, the 1^st defendant/2^nd respondent in charge No. FHC/Abj/CR/383/2015: Federal Republic of Nigeria v Nnamdi Kanu, Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin Madubugwu, David Nwawisi.
