The Federal Government had instituted a five-count charge bordering on injurious falsehood against Misau representing Bauchi South senatorial district.
Justice Ishaq Bello made the order at the hearing of the case in which the defendant was absent.
The prosecuting counsel, Mr Hadi Saleh, prayed the court to summon Misau to come to the court in accordance with Sections 113 and 114 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2017.
