The Federal Government Monday urged the Federal High Court in Lagos to issue a bench warrant for Innoson Nigeria Limited’s chairman Innocent Chukwuma and two of his employees.
They were charged in a fraud case before Justice Ayokunle Faji.
The Police charged them with an alleged ₦ 2.4 billion shipping fraud, but the Attorney-General of the Federation later took over the case.
The prosecution is praying 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.
The alleged offence is contrary to sections 1(2) (c) and 3(6) of the Miscellaneous Offences Act, Cap M17, Laws of the Federation 2004.
Justice Faji adjourned until July 3 for ruling.
