Mohammed who earlier asked for revocation of the order later amended his motion on notice.<\/p>\n<p>In place of revocation of the order, the counsel requested that his client be directed to submit information on David Ukpo to the AGF instead of Ekweremadu for onward transmission to the United Kingdom Court detaining the Nigerian Senator.<\/p>\n<p>The request was not opposed by Chief Adegboyega Awomolo SAN who stood for Ekweremadu. Justice Ekwo subsequently granted the request and ordered NIMC to submit the Bio-data to the AGF for onward transmission to London Court.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the United Kingdom Court prepares to continue with the trial of former deputy president of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, Justice Inyang Ekwo of a Federal High Court in Abuja,&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":96576,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-96698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
