A federal high court sitting in Lagos, southwest Nigeria has authorized the Attorney General of Federation to commence the prosecution of a Lagos business man Innocent Chukwuma, his company Innoson Nigeria Limited and four others for alleged forgery offences.

The ruling of the presiding judge, Saliu Saidu was based on an application filed before the court by Federal Ministry of Justice that the Attorney General of the Federation has taken over the prosecution of the accused persons which the prosecutor from the office of the Inspector General of Police objected.

However after listening to the submission of the counsel of the two parties, the court decided the Attorney General of the Federation should go ahead with the prosecution of the accused persons.
