LAGOS Magistrate’s Court yesterday freed the son of former Vice President Abubakar Atiku, Aminu, following his compliance with a court order directing him to produce his son, Amir.


Chief Magistrate Kikelomo Ayeye yesterday afternoon temporarily remanded Aminu in a transit cell within the court’s premises after citing him for alleged contempt in facie curiae (before or in the presence of the court).


Atiku allegedly kept Amir from the custody of his estranged wife, Fatimo Bolori, contrary to the October 11, 2017 court order.


Bolori is the daughter of a Maiduguri businessman, Alhaji Bukar Bolori.

The estranged couple got married in 2007 at the Abuja Sheraton Hotel and Towers.


Chief Magistrate Ayeye, in a suit between the applicant, U. F. Bolori and the respondent, M. A. Abubakar, made "an order of emergency evacuation and protection" directing Atiku to produce their son, yesterday, for hearing of a suit concerning the child’s custody.


But the charge of contempt was dropped when the respondent produced Amir in court.

The boy was guided into the court premises at about 03:20pm by persons thought to be his father’s representatives.


Chief Magistrate Ayeye also granted custody of Amir, 6, and his older sister, Amirah, 8, to Fatimo.

Mrs. Ayeye ordered that the children should be with their mother for 10 days, pending when permanent living and visiting arrangements will be made.


Further hearing in the case continues on November 1.

Earlier yesterday, the counsel to Atiku’s son, M.O. Enitan, informed the court that the parties were exploring an out of court settlement.


He urged the court to discharge the "emergency, evacuation /protection order".

This was opposed by Bolori’s lawyer, Nwabuzor Okoh, who denied ever receiving any notification or information from the respondent that he intended to reach a settlement with the applicant.


In a bench ruling, Chief Magistrate Ayeye cited Atiku for contempt of the October 11 order.

She ordered that he be remanded, while the case was stood down pending when he produced the boy.


Fatimo and Aminu were divorced in 2011 and their children were kept in their mother’s custody. It was, however, agreed that they would be spending their vacations with their father.
