Alleged N2.5bn Fraud: Court orders NBC boss to appear 'even on stretcher'

The court, in a ruling on Friday, asked Mr Kawu’s lawyers to produce the defendant “even if he has to come to court on a stretcher”.

Mr Kawu, who was to be arraigned alongside Lucky Omoluwa and Dipo Onifade, Chairman of Pinnacle Communications Limited and the Chief Operating Officer respectively, over their alleged complicity in the mismanagement of the N2.5 billion seed grant, failed to appear before Justice F. O. Giwa, saying he was on admission at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Kwara State.

In a ruling, the commission quoted the judge, F. O. Giwa, as saying that the defendant must appear in court for the trial to proceed.
