The Department of State Services (DSS) has released the lawmaker representing Abia-South Senatorial District, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, from detention.
Abaribe who was arrested by the DSS on Friday morning at his barber’s shop in Transcorp Hilton, Abuja was released around 6pm Tuesday,THISDAY reports.
Justice Nyako had, in April last year, granted bail to IPOB leader,Kanu, with Abaribe and two others standing surety for him.
Kanu however became missing after soldiers in an operation to quell pro-Biafra protests in the South-East, invaded his home in Abia State in September 2017.
Since October 17, 2017 when the trial was supposed to resume, Abaribe and the two other sureties had been faced with the burden to produce Kanu in court.
The court, on March 28, 2018, ordered the senator and the two others to appear in court to show cause why they should not forfeit their bail bonds worth N100m each, or be imprisoned for their inability to produce the IPOB leader in court.
The DSS arrested Abaribe on Friday without giving any reason for the arrest.
