The Federal Government has filed
two charges against the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu and Senator
Albert Bassey Akpan (Akwa Ibom North-East) for allegedly failing to declare
some of their assets.
The charges marked:
FHC/ABJ/CR/62/2018 (for Ekweremadu) and FHC/ABJ/CR/88/2018 (for Akpan) were
filed before the Federal High Court, Abuja on behalf of the Federal Government
by the Special Presidential Investigation Panel (SPIP).
The charge against Ekweremadu has
been assigned to Justice Binta Nyako, while the one against Akpan is assigned
to Justice John Tsoho.
Both judges, on Wednesday,
granted leave to the prosecution to serve the charges and other accompanying
court documents on the defendants through the Clerk of the National Assembly.
The order for substituted service
was granted by both judges after listening to the prosecution lawyer, Celsus
Upong, who complained of difficulty in effecting personal service on the
defendants.
