Innoson Nigeria Limited and its
Chief Executive Officer/Managing Director, Mr. Innocent Chukwuma, on Friday
withdrew an ex party application they filed against the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC.
The other defendants in the ex
parte application filed before the Federal High Court in Lagos are the Federal
High Court, the Attorney General of the Federation, the Nigeria Police Force,
the Inspector-General of Police and Guaranty Trust Bank.
In the ex parte application,
Innoson alleged that his recent arrest and detention by the EFCC was at the
instance of GTB.
Counsel for GTB, Adebowale
Kamoru, insisted that his client knew about Innoson’s move to get injunction
against them.
Kamoru, in an application he
brought before Justice Shagari on Friday, prayed the court to decline
entertaining Innoson’s ex parte application, on the claim that Innoson and his
company had suppressed material facts.
The lawyer prayed the court to
grant leave for his client to be heard in the case.
In response, Innoson’s lawyer,
Prof. MacCarty Mbaduagha, said he had been instructed by his client to withdraw
the ex parte application.
Consequently, Justice Shagari
granted Mbaduagha’s prayer.
“In view of the application of
the applicants’ counsel, the application is hereby granted,” the judge held.
