He was unable to meet the bail conditions that day, but by the time he did, the court which was supposed to sign for his release eventually, due to the nationwide strike embarked upon by members of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria on April 6.
Courts across the country only resumed on Tuesday following the union’s decision to suspend the 64-day-old strike last week.Mr Mbah’s lawyer told an online newspaper, FIJ on Wednesday that his client was released on Tuesday. The lawyer, while explaining how he secured Mr Mbah’s release, said “the prison warder said the new rule was to get the court proceedings alongside the release warrant and before I could obtain the proceedings from the magistrate’s court, I had to surmount a lot of unnecessary obstacles,” Mr Ama Onu said.“Even when there was a brief interlude between the strike, we could not do much because the magistrate didn’t come and the registrars were not passionate enough to summon her to the court.
“Yet, my conscience couldn’t drop the case and allow the young man to rot in prison. It is just so pathetic that I nearly knelt down to beg these registrars to facilitate the court proceedings but they kept giving flimsy excuses like illegibility of the Magistrate’s handwriting and all sorts, until the strike caught up with them in the process. I finally got the assurance of release on Tuesday.”
PREMIUM TIMES also obtained a two-minute video clip of Mr Mbah appreciating those who showed solidarity when he was in prison.
