The Minna division of the federal
high court on Thursday issued bench warrants for the arrest of Babangida Aliyu,
former governor of Niger state, and Umar Nasko, his former chief of staff.
The judge, Aminu Aliyu, also
revoked the earlier bail granted Aliyu and Nasko for failure to respect hearing
notices served on them to appear in court.
Aliyu and Nasko were ordered to
appear in court on Thursday for re-arraignment after their alleged N1.9 billion
fraud case was re-assigned to Justice Aliyu.
Their counsel did not show up.
Olajide Ayodele, counsel to the
former governor, however, sent a letter praying for an adjournment.
The case was adjourned until May
27.
