Court Orders Arrest of Chief of Army Staff

The High Court in Minna, Niger State, has issued a warrant of arrest for the Chief of Army Staff, Faruk Yahaya for alleged contempt of court.

Delivering Judgement, the presiding Judge, Halima Abdulmalik, noted that the order followed the hearing of a case brought before the court, pursuant to Order 42, Rule 10 of the State High Court Civil Procedure 2018.

Justice Abdulmalik directed that the two suspects should be remanded in custody until they purge themselves of the court contempt.
The judge, however, adjourned the case to 8 December 2022 for continuation.
