The Federal High Court in Lagos has issued a bench warrant for
the arrest and production in court of Chief Executive Officer, CEO,
of Innosson Nigeria Ltd, Innocent Chukwuma and two others, over
alleged fraud.
Justice Ayokunle Faji of the Federal High Court issued the bench
warrant for the arrest of Chukwuma on Monday.
The Federal Government had a week ago urged the Court to issue a
bench warrant for Chukwuma and some of his employees.
The Police had earlier charged them for an alleged N2.4 billion
shipping fraud, but the then Attorney-General of the Federation and
Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), later took over the
case
Others named in the charge are: Charles Chukwuma, Maximian
Chukwura, Mitsui Osk Lines and Anajekwu Sunny.
The prosecution prayed the court to order the arrest of Innoson
Motors Chairman and his staff for failing to turn up to take their
plea in the criminal charge.
Last week’s Monday, Chukwuma and his staff were absent in
court.
Prosecuting counsel, Julius Ajakaiye moved an application,
urging the court to order the absent defendants’ arrested, saying
that the charge was served on them through a court-ordered
February 8, 2016 substituted service following the AGF’s take-over
of the case.
Consequently, he said the defendants were yet to take their plea
and should therefore be compelled to appear, adding that an April
12, 2016 amended charge could not be served on the absent
defendants, urging the court to grant his application by
ordering their arrest.
