Alleged N135bn Fraud: Ifeanyi Ubah’s absence in court stalls arraignment

byOlamide Fadipe
December 4, 2019
3 min read

The arraignment of politician and businessman, Ifeanyi Ubah, on Wednesday could not go on as planned due to his absence in court.

Mr Ubah, who is currently a senator, was to be arraigned before Justice Nicholas Oweibo of the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos. The senator and his company, Capital Oil and Gas Limited, are facing a four-count charge of fraud and misrepresentation of facts.

When the court opened for hearings on Wednesday, lawyer to the federal government, Kunle Adegoke, informed the court of a pending four-count charge against the defendants and urged the court to accept the same for the purposes of a plea.

Mr Ubah’s lawyer, Olisa Agbakoba, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, however, informed the court that his client had not been served with the charge.

Mr Agbakoba also told the court that a mediation move was ongoing to resolve the case out court since ”it is all about money.”

The Counsel to the second defendant, Capital Oil and Gas Limited, Ajibola Oluyede, however, told the court his client had been served and ” that is why we have filed a notice of preliminary objections challenging the competency of this charge.”

Responding to the statement, the prosecuting counsel, Mr Adegoke, told the court that if the defendant was trying to avoid court proceedings, he would not hesitate to ask for an arrest warrant to enable the prosecution produce him in court.

Ruling on the issues raised, Mr Oweibo said that in as much as the prosecution had failed to produce the defendant in court on Wednesday, the case stood adjourned.

“Accordingly, this case is adjourned to 13th of February, 2020.”

The full charge reads:
