Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja, on Wednesday, ordered the National Identification Management Commission to immediately release the bio-data of David Ukpo to the Attorney-General of the Federation for onward transmission to the United Kingdom Court.
The court issued the order following a request to that effect by the NIMC and in response to the request of the detained former Deputy President of the Nigerian Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, to defend himself in a London court.
Although the court had on July 1 issued an order that the four respondents sued by Ekweremadu release details of David Ukpo to him and his detained wife, Beatrice, the NIMC did not obey the order.
