BREAKING: Jonathan Refuses To Appear Before Justice Abang
Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court, Abuja, insisted, yesterday, that former President Goodluck Jonathan must appear before him today, saying his summon was in line with a ruling of the Court of Appeal in Abuja that faulted his earlier refusal to grant Metuh’s request for subpoena to be issued against Dasuki.
Vanguard reports that the ex-president was not at the today’s hearing at Federal High Court in Abuja.
Reasons for the ex-president’s absence from court could not be ascertained.
This came as detained former National Security Adviser, NSA, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd), yesterday, gave reasons he would not testify in the ongoing trial of erstwhile National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh.
Metuh had asked the court on Monday to summon the former President as a witness to testify in the case filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over alleged N400 million fraud.
Justice Abang said: “Indeed, at the close of business, yesterday (Monday) being October 23, 2017, precisely at about 3.59 pm, the registrar forwarded to the court in chamber a subpoena to compel former President Goodluck Jonathan to appear in court to testify at the instance of the first defendant (Metuh).

I don’t even blame d judge much but Jona who can’t talk, thereby making himself cheap 4 ppl. Just tell me which past Nigerian president that can be invited to court just like that? Yes no body is above d law, but it must be thorough not selective. Its good that he did not go, otherwise they would invite him in more cases even ones b/w gate man and his wife.

It took the world by surprise that GEJ became president and the entire north and west were not happy that was why they teamed up to vote him out. He peaceful left still the north is looking for several ways to make problem with him. They should remember that he is immune like. OBJ, IBB, Buhari, ABSALM etc. The buhari government should respect the ex president. They have been looking for him through his wife, they got tired, now is through METU. God will kill Buhari soonest

Am praying that Jonathan gets arrested by Buhari and his ruling cabals. It will further help in uniting the entire south for Biafra actualization.
