The Chairman of Honeywell Group
Ltd, Oba Otudeko on Thursday appeared at the Federal High Court in obedience to
a witness summons issued on him by the court.
He was summoned to give evidence,
in relation to an alleged N5.5billion debt owed Ecobank Nigeria Plc, Channels
tv reports.
Otudeko, was however not allowed
to testify owing to sharp arguments between the plaintiff and the defence
counsel.
The issue had to do with whether
he could be examined, cross-examined and re-examined on his statement on oath
before the court.
But Justice Mohammed Idris, has
adjourned till Feb 14 for the parties to address the court on this issue.
Meanwhile, a mild scuffle broke
out between some of his supporters and journalists covering the proceedings.
His supporters particularly tried
to block Channels Television’s cameraman, from taking shots as they left the
courtroom.
