A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Monday issued a bench warrant for
the arrest of a former investigator with the Special Presidential
Investigation Panel for the Recovery of Public Property (SPIPRPP), Victor
Osita Uwajeh.
Justice John Tsoho issued the bench warrant while ruling on an application
filed by Kayode Alilu, a lawyer for the Office of the Attorney General of
the Federation (AGF), following Uwajeh’s failure to appear in court for
his trial.
The office of the AGF has since September 19, 2017 filed a four-count
charge marked: FHC/ABJ/CR/148/2017, in which Uwajeh was said to have
“utter a false document” with which he allegedly claimed to be acting as
agent of Senator Emmanuel Andy Uba.
Uwajeh was recently sacked by SPIPRPP as special investigator on April 23.
