The court ordered the arrest of Dr. Idris Abdulaziz
Sheikh Idris Abdul'aziz Dutsen Tanshi has been placed under arrest by the High Court of Islamic Law in Bauchi State.
The teacher was just released from prison following a week in detention on charges of sedition that endangers the state's peace.
The Bauchi State Ministry of Justice took up the case after the police initially brought him to the Magistrate's Court.
The court had already sentenced him to prison, but he was eventually freed.
The case against him was moved from the Magistrate's Court to the Islamic Court after his appearance, where he appeared in court on Wednesday.
Malam Hussaini Turaki, the judge of the court, voiced his annoyance at the cleric's failure to react to the court's invitation for him to comment on the matter before him during the court session that was held on Wednesday.
According to the teacher's attorneys, he was sick yesterday night and won't be able to make it to court today.
They did not receive a judge-signed medical certificate when asked to do so.
Wherever the instructor was abused, the petition's attorney for the state government asked the judge to order his arrest.
Judge Malam Hussaini Turaki made a decision regarding the petition and stated that refusing the invitation amounted to disrespecting the court.
The defendant did not appear in court, but he submitted a motion that the court lacks authority to hear the case against him through his attorneys, according to Barrister Aliyu Ibn Idris, the Attorney General of the Bauchi state government, who told reporters.
We also claimed that he should first appear in front of the court and make a claim that the court lacks jurisdiction to hear the issue.However, since he skipped court, we asked for his arrest because he had previously refused to show up. Our request was granted by the court. In order to continue hearing the matter, she has now postponed it until Monday.
The teacher's attorney, Sadik Abubakar Ilelah, claimed that the court refused to accept their request to extend the teacher's invitation to appear by one day because they were protecting the teacher's right to a healthy work environment.
He stated, "The matter has been transferred from the Magistrate's Court to the Islamic Shari'a Court, however our client was unable to appear in court owing to his illness, thus he will not be able to attend the court session. not now. Since today is the first day of the hearing, we requested that he be granted another day to come, but they refused, claiming that we had disobeyed the court's order.
The judge ordered his arrest so that he may appear after hearing the arguments from both sides.
The attorney stated that based on the utilization of the legal system, they will consider taking the proper measures.
