Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Thursday vacated the warrant of arrest issued against Edison Ehie, the Chief of Staff to the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
The judge in a ruling agreed with Ehie’s counsel, Femi Falana (SAN), and Oluwole Aladedoye (SAN), who appeared for Ehie’s co-defendants, that the court lacked the jurisdiction to grant the order.
Nwite, who gave the order while delivering judgement in an ex-parte application brought by the Inspector-General Police’s lawyer, Simon Lough (SAN), held that at the time the arrest warrant order was made, there was no pending charge before the court.
