 Court Threatens Bench Warrant against Lawyer in N550 million Fraud Case

 

A Federal High Court sitting in Maitama Abuja has threatened to issue a bench warrant against a legal practitioner, Barrister Ferdinand Baba Isa following his failure to appear in court in a N550 million fraud case filed against him by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).

 

Barrister Baba Isa, who is the second defendant in the N550m corruption case, was due to be arraigned in the court on the 10th May, 2024, but failed to show up when the case was mentioned.

 

The presiding judge, Justice James Omotosho, said the failure of the defendant to appear before the Court depicted a blatant "lack of respect for the law," and a repeat of such would attract sanctions.
