Innoson Files Motion For Stay Of Execution Over Arrest Warrant by ClintGist(f): 1:04pm On Feb 10, 2018
Innoson boss filed for the motion through his legal counsel challenging the court which granted EFCC the power to issue arrest warrant on him.

The chairman of Innoson Group, Innocent Chukwuma, has filed a motion for stay of execution of the arrest warrant against him.
Chukwuma filed for the motion through his legal counsel, J.N. Mbadugha on Friday, February 9, 2018 after the EFCC got an arrest warrant for the automobile businessman over alleged fraud charges.

TheCable reports that during the hearing, Chukwuma’s counsel, dragged the court’s attention to a motion pending at the court of appeal challenging the court’s jurisdiction to entertain the matter brought forward it by the EFCC.

Chukwuma's counsel had described the charge against the Innoson boss as an “abuse of process” maintaining that “a similar charge on the same subject matter is pending at the federal high court, Lagos division, between the same parties in charge no FHC/l/565c/2015.”

In the motion filed by Mbadugha, the legal counsel said it is not within the jurisdiction of the court to hear the case against the Innoson boss.

EFCC has no power to investigate Chukwuma - lawyer
Chukwuma's legal counsel, Mbadugha further said the EFCC has no power to investigate, initiate and prosecute the appellant — Chukwuma — for “forgery, uttering and stealing.”

“In consequence whereof the court lacks the jurisdiction to entertain the matter, the learned trial judge failed to determine the aforesaid issue,” he said.

Continuing, Mbadugha said: “The learned trial judge (also) failed to appreciate that the issue as raised divests the court of the jurisdiction to entertain the matter.”

In his conclusion, Mbadugha prayed that the court to set aside the decision of Mojisola Dada, the trial judge, issuing a bench warrant against his client.

EFCC Vs Chukwuma
On Tuesday, December 19, 2017, the chairman of Innoson Motors, Innocent Chukwuma was arrested at his Enugu home by EFCC operatives.

He was arrested for reportedly jumping bail in connection to a case he has with Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB), according to Premium Times.

Chukwuma was later released on bail.

I think he is beginning to be proactive. I am yet to hear about a N200b law suit against efcc's unlawful arrest and detention of innosson, his legal adviser should situp and be proactive.

Innosson should teach efcc the lesson of their lives. Real corruption cases against the NHIS boss have been swept in dee carpet only for them to be harassing aninnocent businessman

I think Innoson's lawyer is wrong on this:

EFCC has no power to investigate Chukwuma - lawyer
Chukwuma's legal counsel, Mbadugha further said the EFCC has no power to investigate, initiate and prosecute the appellant — Chukwuma — for “forgery, uttering and stealing.”

For those who think Innoson Boss is teaching EFCC a lesson, I think you guys missed it - If it is established that Innoson is guilty on the accussations, then Chukwuma is simply a fraudster and criminal that should be in jail despite his innovative idea of Innoson.

This Innoson man is a very dubious business man o. He's doing everything that will prevent his case from appearing in court.

No wonder he forged documents of the bill of landings. All these bad publicity will rub off negatively on his business in the long run because no genuine business man will want to partner with criminal traits like Innosson

It is now clear that GTB made a mistake by providing innosson with the said loan. Innosson approached Zenith and Diamond banks for loans but they turned him down. Note that both Zenith and Diamond banks are Igbo owned banks but they turned Innosson down because being Igbos themselves, they knew how trickery and unscrupulous their fellow Igbo could be and he was turned down. GTB on the other hand came to his rescue and saved his business only for Innosson to turn around and show his true Igbo nature.

Whatever, let's return to cattle colonies as main business of Nigeria. Thank Oyibos for keeping this useless country one for you. Oyibo nurses its entrepreneurs, can even treat the Innoson type of case behind closed doors.

Guilt is a matter of proof beyond reasonable doubt, which can only be done in a court of law. Chukwuma's guilt as u put it can only be determined by a court of law and it is for EFCC to prove it and not to duplicate his trial. It is an abuse of court process, if the same trial for the same alleged offence is b4 anoda court of law.
As for the bench warrant. The FHC in Lagos was wrong to issue it on the basis that Innoson Boss held the court in contempt by failing to appear before the court, without first resolving the issue of its jurisdiction to try the matter and to punish for contempt.
In a general sense, that is the procedure. However, were wat is in issue is the jurisdiction of a court to make an order in respect of contempt, then the court must first resolve the issue before going ahead to make any order.
The counsel to Innoson Boss challenged the jurisdiction of the court to hear the case and and to punish for contempt. Wat shld t judge have done?
She shld hav first resolve the issue on weda she had the jurisdiction to punish for contempt, before making the order for his arrest.
In Ebhodaghe V. Okoye, the Supreme Court said that "jurisdiction is extrinsic and sui generis in nature and the power of a court to punish for contempt is inherent in the very creation of the court and such powers do not depend on the court's jurisdiction to hear or try the substantive matter and as such, a court which ordinarily has no jurisdiction to try a matter can also punish for contempt". Or even if the court's jurisdiction is being challenged, the court still has the powers to punish for contempt. But the only time a court cannot punish for contempt is "if it is its power to punish for contempt that is being challenged".
From the argument of Innocent's counsel, both the jurisdiction to try the case and to punish for contempt were in issue. This is because the counsel argued that the court did not have jurisdiction to try the offence and since it had no jurisdiction to try the offence, it had no powers to make orders.

No country pampers criminal investors. If this case had happened in the UK or US, Innosson would have been jailed by now.

You are joking with your last statement right? The orders of the court stands unless overturned by a higher court.

The argument of a counsel is not a court judgment. You are making it sound as one.
