VAM News update
THE counsel to the suspended Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) of Adamawa State, Barr. Hudu Yunusa Ari, on Wednesday, told the court that his client is in Niger Republic.
VAM News reports that Ari was suspended from his position following allegations of gross misconduct, which included allegedly receiving bribes to influence the outcome of the 2019 general elections in Adamawa State.
During the proceedings at the Adamawa State High Court of Justice, the defendant’s counsel, Dr Suleiman Usman (SAN), informed the court that his client was in Niger Republic with his other wife.
He, however, promised to produce his client in court and pleaded for an adjournment to enable him to do so.
Earlier, the prosecution had requested a warrant of arrest to be issued against the defendant, citing his absence in court.
But the judge, Justice Benjamin Manji Lawan, ruled against the prayer, saying the defence counsel had appeared and promised to produce Hari in court.
The case was later adjourned to Wednesday, December 6, 2023.
