Abbo: Court grants ex-Gov Bindow’s aide bail in defamation case

Justice Dimas of Yola Magistrate Court has granted a bail of
N500,000 to Nurudeen Kama, former governor Bindow Umaru Jibrila’s
Social media aide over his alleged defamatory publication against
Senator Ishaku Abbo.

Kama was arrested in Yola on Friday by men of Department of
State Services (DSS) over alleged defamation of character on his
Facebook page following a formal complaint lodged against him by
the senator.

He was taken to court Monday afternoon by the Adamawa state
police command.

In a suit filed at the Magistrate Court 4 in Yola, Nurudeen Kama
is being accused of using derogatory words against the lawmaker on
his social media handles (facebook), thereby tarnishing his image
before members of the public.

Kama had written, “Tafawa Balewa was not bisexual. Tafawa Balewa
had no record of molesting women.

“Tafawa Balewa had no HIV. Balewa didn’t transmit HIV to any
girl deliberately.
“Tarawa Balewa was not a drunk.

Tafawa Balewa never took drugs. Tafawa Balewa was not gay.
Tafawa Balewa was not an idiot.

“Therefore, comparing Tafawa Balewa with a sex toy senator is an
insult to the late prime minister.”

“For the records, they cloned my WhatsApp to blackmail and put
me on the defensive but I’m not moved even for a minute.

” Cliff and his bisexual friends should work more on redeeming
his battered image decently and not by mischievous blackmail for
God sake, what parts of Cliff Abbo’s “attention” do I need? To
learn how to become a bisexual or how to deliberately transmit HIV
to any girl that shows a sign of resistance to my other
demands?

” If joining black magic for fame is what it means to be great,
I rather buy an ovaprim and a broodstock from the next available
fish farm and breed for a living.

“For those who believed in their lies or blackmail, I will not
only excuse them but forgive them because most time we are ignorant
of the extent idiots can go in order to blackmail you.”

Ruling on the oral bail application filed by his lawyer who is
also the state APC legal adviser Barr. Shaknah Pwamaddi, the Judge
directed the accused to produce two sureties which must include his
blood relative and a traditional ruler in his community.

The judge stated that one of the sureties must be resident
within the jurisdiction of the court and the defendant must sign an
undertaking not to temper with the ongoing investigations of the
matter, among other conditions.

Speaking in an interview with Journalists, Barr. Pwamaddi
expressed satisfaction with the ruling stressing that they are
battle-ready to defend their client and prove his innocence.
