Sudue was allowed to leave the court, where he had been placed on a prisoner bench for several minutes, shortly after Solicitor General, Cllr. Sayma Syrenius Cephus, who accompanied Sudue, concluded a closed-door meeting with Judge Sammy, in the judge’s office. Upon which request, sources said, Judge Sammy released IG Sudue. Judge Sammy had earlier held Sudue in contempt of the court, after the police Inspector General failed to show-up to produce seven (7) vehicles that were in his possession, based on a mandate of the Supreme Court. That revelation prompted Judge Sammy to summon Sudue to produce the keys to the vehicles, though Sudue, up to his surrender to the court, had failed to appear.
