The Upper Area Court sitting in Zuba, Abuja today revoked the bail granted to the famous social media aphrodisiac dealer and self claimed sex therapist, Hauwa Saidu, alias Jaruma.
Recall that Jaruma had a face off with Actress Regina Daniels; what seemed to be a transaction went wrong but was not properly managed by the transacting ladies. This led to Jaruma coming to social media to backlash both Regina Daniels and her husband, Prince Ned Nwoko.
A petition was filed by Prince Ned Nwoko against Jaruma and Jaruma was arrested and charged on four-count charges of ”defamation of character, criminal intimidation, injurious falsehood, and publishing falsehood to incite the public to hate against the ex lawmaker and billionaire businessman Mr Ned Nwoko.

She was granted bail by the presiding judge, Ismail Abdullahi Jibril, on Friday, January 28, 2022 after she had spent about a week in detention at the Suleja prison.
The case was fixed for continuation of hearing today and when the case was mentioned at the upper area court, the accused; Ms Hauwa Saudu was not present in court neither was her lawyer or any of her representatives present in court for the continuation of the case. This led to the presiding judge, to revoke the bail and order for her re-arrest; to be rearrested and taken back to Suleja prison for detention.
The judge ordered that Jaruma should be rearrested and remanded at the Suleja Correctional Centre, until March 17, 2022, which is the new date the case will come up next in court.
Readers should take note that a judge has every legal standing and also a legal obligation to the public to revoke an accused person’s bail for the sole reason of the accused person’s failure to appear in court as at when required by the court. An accused’s failure to appear in court after bail has been granted violates not just a court order but also constitutes contempt of court.
What this holds for Jaruma is that if she is rearrested and taken back to the detention Centre, the presiding judge will be reluctant in granting her bail again as she did not live up to her previous bail conditions which the primary of it is to always appear in court or send a legal representation to appear on her behalf whenever her case comes up in court as this what assures the court that the accused person has not disappeared or eloped to evade justice.
