A Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday ordered the Nigerian
Immigration Service and three banks to immediately release details of David
Ukpo to the detained former Deputy President of the Nigerian Senate, Ike
Ekweremadu to defend himself in a London court.
Justice Inyang Ekwo issued the order while delivering
judgment in a suit instituted by Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice.
The judgment against the defendants followed their
non-appearance in court to defend the suit.
By the court order, all official information including the
account opening package in relation to Ukpo are to be released to Senator
Ekweremadu to ascertain the real age of the said Ukpo.
Ukpo had claimed at a London court that he was a minor of 15
years old which led to the arrest and detention of the Nigerian Senator.
Other defendants are the Comptroller General (C-G), Nigeria
Immigration Service (NIS); Stanbic-IBTC Bank, United Bank of Africa (UBA), and
Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System Plc as 2nd to 5th respondents,
respectively.
