Court orders arrest of Adamawa ex-REC, Ari
An Adamawa State High Court has ordered the arrest of former Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Hudu Yusnusa-Ari.
As INEC did not seem to be making progress in the prosecution, the Adamawa State Government went to court against Hudu but the former REC kept evading summons.
Justice Benjamin Manji Lawan of the Adamawa State High Court issued the warrant of arrest against Hudu, ordering the Inspector General of Police to provide him in court with immediate effect.
Justice Manji issued the warrant of arrest in his ruling on the application by the Adamawa State Government through its counsels.
Moving the application earlier, counsel for the complainant, L. D. Nzadon referred the court to Section 20 Sub section (1j) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Law (ACJL) 2018, urging the court to direct the arrest of Hudu wherever he is found.
