Abubakar had noted that Faisal has failed to attend court to stand trial, as against the undertaking by his surety, Umar Sani Dan Galadima (Kaura Namoda Federal Constituency of Zamfara State) that he would always attend court.
Justice Abang also granted Abubakar’s request the summons be issued on Sani Dan Galadima to show cause why he should not forfeit the N60million bail bond he undertook to forfeit should Faisal jumps bail.
The judge ordered the lawmaker to attend court on Wednesday (November 25) to show cause, failing which an arrest order shall be made against him.
Faisal was first arrested alongside his father, a year ago after allegedly pulling out a gun to stop the operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) from arresting his father, who is now standing trial for fraud he allegedly committed while serving as Chairman of now defunct Pension Reform Task Team.
