FCTA DIRECTOR, 10 OTHERS TO BE ARRAIGNED OVER ALLEGED LAND BGRABBING JUNE 23.

An FCT High Court has fixed June 23 for the arraignment of FCTA’s Director of Investigation and Prosecution, Joseph Eriki, and 10 others on a nine-count charge of alleged land grabbing. 

The court adjourned the case to allow the defendants' lawyers to produce them in court for trial, after the prosecution counsel, David Kwase, alleged that efforts to execute the warrant of arrest issued against the defendants have been unsuccessful, and their lawyers requested an adjournment to file applications to set aside the bench warrant and for bail.

Justice Suleiman Belgore directed the defendants' lawyers to ensure their clients are present in court on the adjourned date for arraignment, emphasizing that the defendants' lawyers should apply for enough time to bring their clients to court rather than filing applications.
