The bail granted to popular Kanyamata boss, Hauwa Saidu, a.ka Jaruma, has been revoked by the Upper Area Court, Zuba, in Abuja.
This was due to her absence during the court hearing earlier today.
Jaruma was arraigned before the court on January 25 for alleged defamation of character, false news publication and intimidation of business tycoon, Ned Nwoko, on social media.
Nwoko had accused Jaruma of publishing falsehoods on her Instagram page against him and his wife, Regina Daniels.
However, the presiding judge, Barrister Ismail Abdullahi Jibrin, revoked the bail and ordered for her re-arrest after she and her counsel failed to appear in court today and failed to send any representative.
The judge had earlier stood the case down as none of Jaruma’s lawyers showed up in court. A lawyer who was in the court premises had appealed to the judge to be patient as Jaruma and her lawyers might show up later.
After waiting for two hours and they still didn’t show up, the judge in anger revoked her bail and ordered her re-arrest.
The judge ordered that Jaruma should be remanded at the Suleja Correctional Centre, until March 17, 2022, which is the new adjourned date.
