An Abuja High Court has issued a bench warrant against the director of investigation and prosecution of the FCTA, Joseph Eriki, and 10 others.Justice Suleiman Belgore has issued an order to compel the director and others to appear before the court for a suit filed against them.

The Judge’s decision followed the application of the prosecuting counsel, David Kaswe, who lamented the failure of the efforts to ensure that the suspects appear in court.

Justice Suleiman Belgore of the High Court in Abuja has issued a warrant of arrest against Joseph Eriki, the director of investigation and prosecution of the Nyesom Wike-led Federal Capital Territory istration ,FCTA, and 10 others.

The judge had issued the order to compel the appearance of Joseph Eriki and 10 others before the court, as they had been arraigned in a suit filed against them by the federal government.

The warrant was issued following an application by the prosecution counsel, David Kaswe, who stated that all efforts to ensure the suspects’ presence in court had failed. Kaswe informed the court that the prosecution had made several attempts to notify the suspects’ lawyers and sureties, but to no avail.

He cited Section 124 of the istration of Criminal Justice Act ,ACJA, which allows for the issuance of a bench warrant to compel attendance in court.

The court agreed to the application, issuing the warrant to ensure the suspects’ appearance for arraignment on a six-count charge. The charges against the suspects include criminal conspiracy, criminal tres, forgery, and using a forged document as genuine.

They are also accused of using criminal force to deter a public servant from performing their duty. The suspects allegedly entered a plot of land belonging to Etha Ventures and constructed structures without authorisation, to defraud the company.

According to the prosecution, the suspects fraudulently obtained a consent judgment for the land, which was given to Super Structures Limited. The case has been adjourned until June 4 for arraignment.

The court’s decision to issue a bench warrant highlights the seriousness of the allegations and the need for the suspects to face trial. The suspects are facing a six-count charge, which was filed in February.

The court’s ruling emphasises the importance of a speedy trial and the need for the suspects to be held able for their actions.

With the bench warrant in place, the court is taking steps to ensure that the suspects appear in court and face the charges against them.

The george dey fear Wike

The george dey fear Wike

My thoughts exactly. Wike has become an emperor and will use his influence in politics and judiciary to kick him out. How can Justice Suleiman Belgore order the arrest of a lackey without arresting his boss?

You won't hear 'obey the Court order' from the usual suspects now. But if this were against their perceived enemy, they'd run to town screaming, 'Obey the Court order!'

Judiciary is floating while the big fish are swimming underneath. If the judge do anyhow, straight to Jonah's lodge (inside the belle of the fish)

Then why are they afraid to show up in court and defend what they did?

No 41of tinubu government achievements

WIKE will not say obey court order now, he will keep quite, but if it is the other way round, he will shout with his big voice

Hmmmm
There are underground rumblings between Jagaban and Wike

Aside land racketeering and bribery, FCTA has managed to maintain a relatively decent and respectable reputation until Wike happened. He has polluted a hitherto quiet and orderly territory transforming it into a lawless jungle where Wike, the wild beast, reigns supreme
