The Attorney General of the Federation, Chief of Defence Staff and Director General , State Security Service narrowly escaped being sent to prison on Wednesday for Contempt of court.
Also fortunate to escape being sent to prison is the STF Commander, Major-General Augustine Chukwudi-Agundu, facing fundamental Right charges in a High Court in Barkin Ladi Local Government of Plateau.
They failed to obey a court order to produce a suspect and applicant allegedly in their custody.
The applicant, Dalyop Bulls, was reportedly arrested on November 11, 2017 by military personnel attached to the Operation Save Haven known as Special Tasks Force and thereafter nothing was heard of him by the parents.
Irked by the attitude of the security operatives, who up till date have not filed any charge against him, he through his counsel, Gyang Zi, filed a fundamental Right suit against security operatives before Justice Samson Gang, of State High Court, Barkin Ladi.
Justice Gang had, on April 4, gave an order to the AGF, Chief of Defence Staff, SSS and The STF Commandant, who are 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th respondents respectively, to produce Bulus in Court on the next adjourned date, May 23 but they failed to comply.
