The judge insisted that Abaribe must opt for one of the three options.
With the judge’s insistence, Ogechi Ogunna opted to be given time to produce him.
The two other sureties were not represented in court on Tuesday.
Earlier, prosecuting counsel, Mr. Shuaibu Labaran, noting that Kanu was not present in court, urged the judge to revoke defendant’s bail, order for his arrest, and direct the defendants’ three sureties “to show cause why the bail bond of N100m entered into by each shall not be forfeited or they be committed to prison.”
The trial was been adjourned until November 20.
