The defendant’s arraignment was stalled on September 28 and October 5 due to his failure to appear in court, although he was represented by his lawyers.
The Lagos High Court sitting in the Ikeja area on Friday ordered the arrest of the Chairman/CEO of Ibeto Energy Development Company, Cletus Ibeto, for allegedly refusing to appear in court to stand trial on allegations bordering on a 4.8bn fraud.
On the two occasions, his lawyer, Onyechi Ikpeazu, SAN, informed the judge that his client was absent due to ill health. He, however, promised to produce him in court today. “Senior lawyers cannot come to court and waste the court’s time. We urge the court to grant us a warrant of arrest to force the defendant to court,” Jacob said.
