Okorocha’s Certificate of Return: How Sen. Izunaso narrowly escaped prison
Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court Abuja said that Izunaso ought to have been remanded in prison for putting up an attitude before the court which could best be described as “rascality of the highest order”.
The judge in his ruling held that putting the name of a presiding judge as one of the parties to be served a court process filed at the Court of Appeal was scandalous and embarrassing and showed that Izunaso had no respect for the court. “This shows the level of disregard Izunaso has for the court which is established by the constitution.”
Justice Abang held that in the case of contempt before the court, the judge was the complainant, the prosecutor and remained the judge. With regards to the issue of the motion filed by Izunaso for stay of proceedings, the judge said that the court records showed that he only became aware of the motion on Tuesday.
