Lawyer's observation about Comfort Emmanson's remand warrant
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported what an observant barrister noticed after closely looking at the remand warrant used for Comfort Emmanson.
While sharing a copy of the remand warrant on Facebook, the lawyer, who found procedural irregularities in it, accused the Nigerian Correctional Service of collusion and abuse of process.
She further said that the accused Ibom Air passenger was hurriedly charged to court and remanded using a warrant with a chronological impossibility. This is because it was stated on the warrant that Comfort was remanded on October 11 and is to be produced for arraignment on October 6, 2025.
