Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja has ordered the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and the Nigerian Army to produce in court, a medical doctor, Mohammed Mari Abba, who was accused of link with Boko Haram.
In her ruling on a suit filed by Abba, through his counsel, Ocholi Okutepa, to challenge his continuous detention, ordered the Army to in the alternative charge him to court.
Abba, a consultant with World Health Organization (WHO), was arrested in Yobe State in 2012 and has remained in detention, according to Okutepa.
“The first thing I wish to raise in this case is on the case of the applicant (Abba). This applicant who is suing in person is “missing”.
“The applicant, according to his wife, who deposed to the affidavit in support of the application, is being kept by the respondents in an undisclosed place.
“However curiously, I have come across a process in the file dated 10/06/16 on behalf of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th respondents, which claimed that the applicant has been charged in suit number FHC/ABJ/CR/138/2015.
“If this is correct, then it will be safe to assume the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th respondents have an idea where the applicant may be. So as not to embark on exercise in futility, I hereby order the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th respondents to produce the applicant before the court within 60 days or charge him to court.
“On the alternative, they should show cause, why I should not order them to release the applicant unconditionally,” Nyako said.
