Court orders JTF to produce Boko Haram suspect


A Borno State High Court sitting in Maiduguri, yesterday, ordered the Military Joint Force, JTF, to produce a Boko Haram suspect, one Goni Ali, who had been detained in the last three months, within 48 hours or face the wrath of the court.
The court, presided over by Justice Alkali Wakil, gave the order while delivering a ruling on a motion in the suit number BOHC/MG/ CV/ 243M/2011, between Goni Ali and eight others.
Respondents in the suit include all the security agencies that make up JTF.
Justice Wakil expressed sadness that though JTF had earlier been served with a court order on the matter, it failed to obey the directives.
Goni was allegedly arrested in connection with the assassination of a former legislator representing Konduga Local Government Constituency by unknown gunmen in October last year.
