Plateau:  Counsel seeks release of Kado from army custody

Counsel to detained Baba Chiroma Waje Kado, Badamasi K. Adams,  has appealed to Commander Operation Safe Haven and General Officer Commanding, Major-General Abdusalam E. Abubakar, to release his client in compliance with an order by a Federal High Court.

Barrister Adams, in a chat with journalists Sunday in Jos, said he  made the appeal  because the old man has secured court orders to that effect.

Justice Sharon Tanko Ishaya, of the Jos Division of the Federal High Court, had in a suit No: FHC/J/CS/14/2024, ordered for the release of Kado to enforce his fundamental human right as sought.

 Adams said the earlier information given to journalists by him  to the effect that the Commander Operation Save Haven refused to comply with the court order to release the Fulani leader, was made in error. 

“We have met with the representative of the commander and the court order was presented to him. We are waiting for their response,” he said.
