The Department of State Services has released the lawmaker representing the Abia South Senatorial District, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe.
Abaribe’s media aide, Mr. Uchenna Awom, disclosed on Tuesday night that the lawmaker was back to his Abuja home as of 7:45pm. Also Abaribe’s lawyer, Chukwuma-Machukwu Ume, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, confirmed his release.
Asked if there was any condition attached to the bail, Ume said, “No condition except that he should be showing up from time to time. There is nothing more.”
A statement later issued by the media aide read, “About 6.32 pm on Tuesday, June 26, 2018, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe walked into freedom after five days in the DSS gulag. Abaribe who was granted administrative bail was released to his lawyers led by Chukwuma-Machukwu Ume, SAN.
Thanks to Nigerians for standing up against the wrongs done to Nigeria’s democracy with the arrest of Senator Abaribe. The collective calls and demand for his release has shown the great spirit of Nigerians for justice.”

ReplyDeleteMeanwhile not a single "herdsman" have been arrested after they massacred several villages in Plateau State and even openly boasted about about it.
ReplyDeleteGood for him. This guy is extremely rude and full of himself. Talks any how. Couldn’t believe he use to be a deputy governor in Abia. You don’t stick out your neck for likes of Kanu. He’s in UK now, you are chopping disgrace. Foolish people everywhere
