Update: Atiku Abubakar's son remanded for contempt of court order over custody battle with his Ex-wife

A Magistrate Court sitting in the Tinubu area of Lagos on Wednesday remanded Aminu Abubakar, the son of a former Vice President, Abubakar Atiku in the transit cell for disobeying a court order.
Magistrate Kikelomo Ayeye ordered the remand for an alleged disobedience of a court order directing him to produce his son, seven-year-old Amir Atiku in court today (Wednesday).

Following the proceedings in a case brought by Aminu Atiku’s estranged wife, Ms. Bolori, the court had made the order for the emergency evacuation and protection of the child pending the hearing of the case today.

At the case hearing,  Aminu’s lawyer informed the magistrate that the parties were making plans to settle the matter out of court. But the counsel to his estranged wife, Ethel Okoh, denied knowledge of an out-of-court settlement.
Magistrate Ayeye found Aminu Atiku guilty for contempt of the court order made on October 11 and ordered that he should be remanded at the transit cell within the court premises pending when he could produce the boy in court.
Recall that LIB exclusively covered and reported the clash between Aminu his ex-wife, Miss Ummi Bukar Bolori as he got into a brawl with her at their daughter's school in Parkview estate over the custody of their two children, Amirah, 8, and Aminu Atiku, 7, last Thursday.

The estranged couple who got married in Borno State in 2007, enjoyed a five-year marriage before their union was dissolved by a Sharia Court in Maiduguri in 2011.

Following their separation and battle over their children, on 11th of October 2017, Miss Bolori secured a court injunction to take custody of their children upon reports that her kids who have been with their father, were lacking motherly care.

The court document also revealed that their 8-year-old daughter who is now with Miss Bolori sent numerous text messages to her that she wasn't happy at her father's home and wanted to be with her.

Kenya top election official resigns and flee to US amid death threats

Roselyn Akombe, a senior member of Kenya's electoral commission (IEBC) has resigned from her position and fled to the US amid death threats ahead of next week's presidential election re-run.
This comes a week after opposition leader Raila Odinga pulled out of the presidential election re-run after the Supreme Court annulled the result of the original 8 August poll, when current President Uhuru Kenyatta was declared winner, after finding irregularities and illegalities.

Speaking to BBC Newsday interview from New York, Ms.Akombe recalled the murder of the election commission's IT head, Chris Msando, before the August poll.

"You'll be suicidal to think that nothing will happen to you.I have never felt the kind of fear that I felt in my own country," Ms Akombe told the BBC.

According to her, the IEBC was under political "siege", unable to reach consensus or take any decisions.

Ms. Akombe said she left the IEBC because "the commission in its current state can surely not guarantee a credible election".

‘There is a very high likelihood that the mistakes that some of the presiding officers made during the last election will be repeated," she told the BBC.

She said IEBC members had been voting along partisan lines, without discussing different issues on merit and that commissioners and other IEBC personnel were facing intimidation by political actors and protesters.

Roselyn added that the death threats were anonymous threats, and she had been put under pressure to resign.

She said she did not "feel safe enough to be able to go home" in the foreseeable future.
IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati in a statement said he regretted Ms. Akombe's decision to quit and warned Kenya's political leaders not to "interfere with the process".
