Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Senate Minority Leader, Enyinaya Abaribe, has insisted he would stand surety again for the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, given the same circumstances.<\/p>\n

Abaribe stated this on Wednesday during an interview on TVC\u2019s Journalists Hangout.<\/p>\n

The lawmaker explained that he stood surety for Kanu, because it was a condition imposed by the court.<\/p>\n

According to Abaribe, the court ordered that one of the sureties must be a Senator, and as the Chairman of the Southeast Senators Caucus then, he had to offer himself.<\/p>\n

When asked whether Senator Ike Ekweremadu, who is now the Chairman of Southeast Caucus, would agree to stand as sure for Kanu should the need arise, Abaribe said he would not know.<\/p>\n

Abaribe tells Buhari govt how to treat Nnamdi Kanu in DSS custody<\/p>\n

Abaribe said: \u201cThere is a difference between jumping bail and escaping for your life. I went back to court and deposed that on the basis of the principle of \u2018last seen\u2019, that the last people seen with him were soldiers of the Nigerian army who were invading his father\u2019s residence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe judge ultimately ruled that she was revoking bail and issued a warrant of arrest, thereby removing us from the responsibility of providing him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abaribe was then asked if he would be willing to stand surety for Kanu again, if the IPOB leader was offered bail.<\/p>\n

He replied: \u201cIf the circumstances are the same, then why not?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first time, the judge said they needed a Senator to be part of his sureties. So if a judge says that again that they need a Senator, I don\u2019t see why I won\u2019t. I am a Senator and I come from the South East.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t run away from our responsibility. He\u2019s our son. He\u2019s from our state (Abia).\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
