A Federal High Court, Abuja, on Wednesday, threatened to issue a warrant of arrest against suspended Governor of, Godwin Emefiele, over his failure to appear in court to explain circumstances surrounding the 53 million dollar-judgment debt arising from the Paris Club refund.
Agi had dragged Linas International Ltd, Minister of Finance, CBN and Emefiele to court as 1st to 4th judgment debtors respectively, following an application for garnishee made by him as judgment creditor in the case. Upon resumed hearing on Wednesday, Ayodele Arotiowa, who appeared for Agi, was about to make a submission when Justice Ekwo asked Emefiele’s lawyer if he had complied with the order.
Anuga said: “But the public information now is that he has been suspended. And opportunity has to be given to him to comply.”“I have given you enough opportunity but you are taking it for granted,” the judge said, while directing Anuga to give a good reason why the court should not issue a warrant of arrest against Emefiele.
The judge, consequently, adjourned the matter until Oct. 31 for the CBN and Emefiele to show cause why an arrest warrant should not be issued against the former CBN governor.
