The Federal High Court, Abuja, has denied granting the application brought before it by the Department of State Services (DSS) until all orders of the court are obeyed.
Justice Nnamdi Dimgba denied the application on Tuesday when DSS Counsel GOA Agbadua applied for a remand warrant.
The vacation judge said it would be wrong for the court to grant the application to the DSS when it had no regard for orders of the court.
Dimgba pointed out that he had ordered the remand in Kuje Prison, of retired Air Commodore Umar Mohammed, who was arraigned before him, pending the hearing of his bail application.
“But the DSS decided to keep him in its custody against the order of the court.’’
Dimgba also cited another instance when he ordered the service to produce some accused persons in court but noted that the DSS had yet to comply.
“The court will not grant any application of the DSS until there is sufficient proof that all orders of the court have been obeyed.
“It will be counter-productive for the court to take this application and grant the reliefs sought by the DSS.
“This court hereby adjourns this application sine die until the applicants counsel files an affidavit deposing to the fact that all outstanding orders of this court on the DSS have been complied with.’’
