As a result of his involvement in contempt of court, Justice Halima Abdulmalik of a Federal High Court sitting in Minna, Niger State, on Thursday, ordered that the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), General Farouk Yahaya, be arrested.
The judge who presided over the court declared that the order followed notice brought before the court pursuant to Order 49, Rule 10 of the Niger State High Court Civil Procedure 2018.
Justice Abdulmalik held that the order is commuting Yahaya to be kept in Minna correctional custody for contentions of the order of the court on October 12, 2022, with an addition that the COAS is to remain in custody until he has been “purged” of the contempt.
The court further directed that the Commandant Training and Doctrine Command, Minna, Major General Olugbenga Olabanji, be arrested and imprisoned for a similar offense.
Justice Abdulmalik has since adjourned the matter until December 8 for continuation.
