Hudu Yunusa-Ari, the suspended Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has again evaded arraignment at the State High Court of Justice.<\/p>\n

According to the Investigating Police Officer (IPO), Moses Jolugbo, Yunusa-Ari has gone into hiding.<\/p>\n

The trial judge, Justice Benjamin Manji, had tasked the Nigerian police to produce the suspended REC on or before the adjourned date of Thursday, November 23.<\/p>\n

However, when the matter came up prior to the date on Wednesday, counsel to INEC, Rotimi Jacobs, prayed the court to issue a warrant of arrest against the fleeing suspended REC.<\/p>\n

But before Justice Benjamin could respond to the request by INEC\u2019s counsel, a lawyer, Usman Suleiman, announced his appearance for Yunusa Ari.<\/p>\n

Suleiman disclosed he is appearing under the instruction of Yunusa-Ari\u2019s son.<\/p>\n

He further announced that his client (Hudu Yunusa-Ari) is not in the country but is in Niger Republic.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was instructed by his son. As of now our client is not in the country, he is in Niger republic,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Following this, Justice Manji tasked the counsel to produce Yunusa Ari within two weeks and accordingly adjourned the case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
