They Should Leave This Guy Alone Now, Haba! by BabaRamota1980: 11:02pm On May 28, 2018 |
Justice Mojisola Dada of the special offenses court sitting in Lagos, on Thursday declared the Chairman of Innoson Motors Nigeria Ltd, Innocent Chukwuma wanted over his failure to make an appearance in court for his arraignment for the fifth time. Chukwuma, alias Innoson is standing trial in a matter between his company and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. Justice Dada had declared the automobile boss wanted, granting the request of Anselem Ozioko, the lead prosecuting counsel of the EFCC. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Innoson had previously failed to make an appearance in court for his arraignment on Jan. 17, Feb. 9, March 14 and April 25. His failure to appear before the court for five consecutive times informed the issuance of the bench warrant. During the proceedings of March 14, it was revealed that Innoson had petitioned the National Judicial Council over Justice Mojisola Dada, the judge trying the case. Ozioko in his submission seeking the declaration of Innoson wanted said: “This appears to be the fifth time this matter is coming up before your Lordship for arraignment. “The learned Senior Advocate of Nigeria representing the second defendant (Innoson) is still insisting on taking his application without ensuring the defendant is physically present in court. “The question is, where is the second defendant? Is he too big for the court? Is he too big for the Federal Republic of Nigeria? Is he too big because he has money? Where is he? “What my learned friends, the defense counsel are doing is contemptuous. “We shall be applying for an order to declare the second defendant wanted.” Acceding to Ozioko’s request, Justice Dada said, “The second defendant is hereby declared wanted and the case adjourned until June 22 for possible arraignment.” Earlier, during the proceedings, Ozioko had informed the court that the anti-graft agency will also be taking some steps to ensure Innoson’s attendance in court on the next adjourned date. Counsel to Innoson, George Uwechue (SAN) had requested that the court hear his application despite Justice Dada’s declaration that no application will be heard until Innoson is physically present in court. “At the last hearing, the court maintained its position that it will not take its pending application unless the first defendant is arraigned. “We were about to cite our position regarding the court’s declaration but we were interrupted by the prosecuting counsel and that interruption led to today’s proceedings. “Whatever we did that day, we sincerely apologize; we urge this court to allow us to continue our presentation.’’ Prof. J. N Mbadugha, counsel to Innoson Motors Nigeria Ltd, in his submission told the court that he had an application challenging the jurisdiction of the court. Mbadugha informed the court that he had made an appeal at the Court of Appeal over the case. Justice Dada, however, maintained her position that the applications of the defense will not be heard until Innoson is physically present in court. NAN reports that Chukwuma and his company, Innoson Motors Nigeria Ltd., are to be arraigned on a four-count charge of conspiracy to obtain property by false pretenses, obtaining property by false pretenses, stealing and forgery. According to the charge sheet, the defendants committed the offenses between 2009 and July 2011 in Lagos. The EFCC alleged that the defendants with intent to defraud; conspired to obtain by false pretenses containers of motorcycle, spare parts and raw materials, a property of Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) from Mitsui OSK Lines Ltd, Apapa, Lagos. They are alleged to have fraudulently induced staff of Mitsui OSK and Maersk Line to deliver to them via their clearing agents the goods which were imported from China in the name of GTB by falsely pretending that they were authorized by the bank to clear the goods. The prosecution claimed that the defendants in order to facilitate the fraud forged a bill of lading numbered 598286020 of Maersk Line Limited and 11007950841 of Mutsui O.S.K Lines by knowingly putting a false GTB stamp and signature of the bank staff. The alleged forgery was in order that the forged documents be used or acted upon as genuine to the prejudice of any person within Lagos or elsewhere. The offenses contravened Sections 1(1)(b), 1(3), and 8(a) of the Advanced Fee Fraud and Other Related Offenses Act 2016 and Sections 309(9), 388, 465 and 467(1)(j) of the Criminal Code, Laws of Lagos State 2003.

Lets be frank, this guy is one true Igbo that has lived the dream. He came to Lagos, hustled, made his success and returned home. He should be used as model not harassed. For whatever he has done...they should make him take plea and put good works in community in lieu of prison. It will be a shame to just throw in prison considering what he has done in terms of development for his homeland. This is what we want all yanminrins to do. Go home and develop home. 1 Like |

oooduancalmdown:The law does not pander to petty tribal sentiments. If the courts summon him for a case to answer, he must heed such summons without delay. For the fact that he is a rich ibo man does not make him above the law 3 Likes |

Balyz: This true. He should honor court summons and not make them come and arrest him at home again. He is lucky this is the Ikoyi court and not that notorious Igbosere court. They would have remanded him without bail last appearance. There are two fast ways to fvck up in business....forgery and tax evasion. He is charged with both. They should not throw the law at him sha....let him plea and do community service instead of prison time. 1 Like |
