Three years after a law firm, LAWLEAD Consult petitioned the Inspector-General of Police to investigate alleged cases of criminal breach of trust and forgery against an Indian firm over a $25 million transformer deal, the suspects are yet to honour the invitation of the Nigeria Police through INTERPOL, a development that has triggered a legal move to bring them to justice in Nigeria.
Sunday Vanguard gathered that trouble started when Transformers and Rectifiers Limited secured a $25 million transformer deal to supply transformers to the Transmission Company of Nigeria , in a World Bank funded project, midwifed by their Nigerian agent, P-NEC Nigeria Ltd.
But in response, INTERPOL, after receiving the petition and carrying out their investigation, placed Jitendra Mamtora and Satyen Mamtora on red notice, which led to the arrest of the former in Italy. Sunday Vanguard learned that it was based on that development that the Nigerian Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi, immediately signed extradition requests and dispatched same to India to release the suspects to Nigeria to face trial.
