I think gtb will go out of business next 2years

fineboynl:
no to every body that is well known, someone that is not a criminal and no risk to the public, someone that is well known in the society, someone that cannot run away, someone that has investment or industrialist. and lastly someone that refuse to honor invitation. the police or efcc will then need a court warrant to make the arrest.

If you make such statement in a cool country,ur ass will be in jail,look at this guy,the law doesnt know you,mikel obi was arrested,mike tyson,mayors and governors in the u.k n u.s respectively,n when they want to announce your arrest they remove all your status and say “a man was arrested today for tax fraud” damn,stinking thinking.

these clowns, what other briefing do you need?

I just wonder why on earth we must "tribalize" everything in Nigeria.

Innoson was accused of fraud and EFCC arrested him, although the manner in which he was arrested leaves much to be desired, I still see no reason why many are saying it is because of his tribe.

I am very sure Innoson himself wouldn't even come out to say this has anything to do with his tribe.

Who accused him of fraud and when did the fraud take place? GTbank obviously had no hand in this and the EFCC is speaking on parables and incoherently so where did u get the idea of fraud from

Mr Man where is your Maina explanation?

We're getting there!

Your own thinking self has left me wondering too. Why must he be arrested in that manner as you said? The case is also in Supreme Court and he has won GTB on two consecutive occasions at the high and the appeal court. And you're here thinking rubbish. Since when has it become efcc's role to wade in a matter like that especially when it's in court and make Gestapo arrest. Who issued the arrest warrant in the first place? Bunch of hypocrites. So pathetic.

The manner of his arrest indicate a VERY deliberate attempt to humiliate and send out a message. That is why it is indeed a tribal issue. Nobody would have complained if he was invited to the EFCC office or arrested with decorum at his office (the EFCC knows where he works and how to find him there during working hours).

We're talking about a trivial matter between two business entities, a matter that is even before the courts, but yet you had to storm his house by 5.30am, slap his wife, and forcefully take him away in his pyjamas. Does that not show you that this is not an ordinary arrest?

Ebullience:
The Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, (AGF) Abubakar Malami on Thursday said that he has not been briefed on why the Chairman of Innocent Motors, Chief Innocent Chukwuma was arrested.

The Economic Financial and Crimes Commission, EFCC, two days ago had arrested Chief Chukwuma and took him to Abuja for allegedly refusing to honour invitation, which the Innoson Motors boss has denied.

Briefing State House correspondents after the Federal Executive Council, meeting presided by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Council Chamber, Presidential Villa, Abuja on Thursday, the AGF said that he was yet to be briefed by the agency responsible for the arrest on the reason behind the action.

Asked to explain the circumstances behind the arrest of Chukwuma, he said, “Well in all sincerity I wasn’t privy to facts that led the stated arrest. I have not been formally briefed by the relevant agencies.


“One thing I know about Innoson is the fact that there has been a pending case between him and GTBank which is pending in court and is being prosecuted accordingly. Other than that, I am not privy to the fact and circumstances that led to the alleged arrest Wednesday. So until I am briefed by the relevant agencies, I am not in the clear position to make any disclosures relating to that.”

On the memo from his office to the Council he said, “Two memos were presented Thursday from the Federal Ministry of Justice and the first memo was a memo relating to copy right bill which is intended to be transmitted by the executive to the legislature which passes it into law.

“It is a Bill that relates to creative industry; it is designed to accord protection of creative works against piracy and protection of intellectual property rights.

“The bill was taken and was accordingly approved by the Council; the Attorney General has accordingly been instructed to transmit same to the National Assembly for passage into law and eventual assent if it is eventually passed.

“The second memo that was taken from the Federal Ministry of Justice was a memo relating to suppression of piracy and maritime offences act. The intention was to accord protection to the maritime industry against pirates and indeed, come up with a comprehensive policy provision accommodated into the bill which is intended to ensure that at the end of the day that the spirit of international conventions that have been ratified by Nigeria over time relating to maritime industry are indeed accommodated into the bill with a view to bring it in line with the international best practices and indeed ensure the protection of our maritime boundary.”

The bill approved by the Council will be transmitted to the National Assembly for passage and eventual assent by the President.


Speaking on the persisting fuel scarcity in the country, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed said that all the relevant agencies including the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Dr Ibe Kachikwu were working to ensure the end of the fuel crisis.

Mohammed said, “We just concluded a very marathon Council meeting you take into consideration that it started Wednesday and it just ended this afternoon

“As for the fuel scarcity, I can assure you that both the Ministry of Petroleum Resources and the Department of Petroleum Resources are working round the clock to ensure that this thing becomes a thing of the past.”

On his part, the Minister of State for Environment, Ibrahim Jibril said his ministry presented two memos to Council and that one of the memos was taken on Wednesday.

He said, “The one taken Thursday is a policy memo aimed at seeking Council’s approval for the revision of the National Biosafety Management Agency.

“The National Bio-Safety Management Agency is an agency under the Ministry of Environment charged with the direct responsibility of monitoring and supervising the use of genetically modified organism in the country.

“Most of the time, people tend to mix this agency with another sister agency in the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology, that is National Bio-technology Development Agency.

“While the first one under technology is charged with the responsibility of doing research work and making a breakthrough on many things in the country, the national biosafety under the environment ministry is a regulatory agency with the responsibility of checking the type of fuel that are genetically modified product that could come into the country to ensure that they are safe for consumption either for animals or humans and to ensure also that they do not displace our traditional products that are found locally in the country.

“This policy memo which was approved Thursday, the first one we had was in 2006 and this predate even the establishment of the agency because the agency was established by an act of parliament in the year 2015.

“So the policy has been in place before even the enactment of the law to establish the agency and because it has been around for more than a decade, we felt it is necessary to review it and bring it up to date and face the present reality so that as technology is developing rapidly, the policy framework that should be put in place to regulate and monitor effectively to ensure that our citizens are save is what motivated us to bring this and thank God, the Council has approved the policy memo.

“So we have a new policy and the Attorney General of the Federation will take the necessary steps to bring it into force.

“The first memo which was taken Wednesday was actually about the hydrocarbon remediation project in River State where approval was given for the engagement of the project management consultants as well as monitoring and evaluation to ensure that proper framework is put in place that will assist in supervising and actualising the clean-up and that was also approved yesterday.

On Sulphur in fuel, he said; “You are talking about fuel for vehicles which has Sulphur contents. This is something that cuts across two or three ministries and it has to do with Trade, Investments and Industries. It also has to do with Petroleum Resources through the NNPC because the products are brought in by NNPC and it is something that we started with the West African sub-region and agreed that the sulphur content in our fuel is extremely high and is injurious to human health and environment. Unfortunately, the refineries in this country are not designed to have low sulphur content but we are lucky the new refinery coming up from Dangote in Lagos probably this coming year will have the standard but for us we have agreed that we have to give sometime up to about two years for the refineries in this country to upgrade to the level where they can be able produce fuel with less sulphur content but the work is ongoing, we are working closely with the NNPC for they are the people who are directly responsible.

“We are concerned because we it is part of the pollutant that can pollute the environment and affect human health, that is why we are driving the process to ensure that they comply with regulations and in doing this we are getting support.”

The Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbeh said: “This afternoon we presented a memo to the Council relating to the Veterinary Council of Nigeria which has been in existence since 1953 and under the provisions of the law setting it up, the Council members meet from time to time to improve regulations on veterinary practice so that people not qualified to practice as Veterinary Doctors do not operate in the country.

“The regulations were made and submitted to Council and Council approved them for Mr. President to endorse so that those regulations can be put in practice with the protection of livestock and the improvement of the breed of livestock in the country.”

You're not serious, who accused him of fraud? The way some of you jump into conclusion ehn. The thing just weak me.

sureheaven:
Innoson forged docs and sigis of gtb and his staffs. He later went to court getting kangaroo judgement up and down. Therefore making him fell super hero and gaining public sympathy.

Just read your idiotic contribution and applaud yourself for such monumental stupidity.

So assuming it is true that Innoson is getting kangaroo judgments up and down, does that empower Gtbank or even the EFCC to deliver judgment on their own? What purpose does the arrest serve? Would you arrest him and charge him to the same courts again.... For a matter that is already before the same courts? ? ?

Since the law only allows such matters to be decided by the courts, and you claim that Innoson has annexed the courts to his pocket, why not encourage Gtbank to simply hire assassins to kill the man, since there is no hope of winning him in court? Is it not the height of disgusting foolishness to use EFCC to arrest him, knowing fully well that the EFCC lacks the power to DECIDE the case or declare the man innocent or guilty on its own?

What exactly was the point of the arrest? To intimidate him? If you're accusing Innoson of committing an unlawful act, is it lawful for you to instigate the EFCC to illegally arrest him without even having any plan or rationale to charge him to court? ? ?

Filthy asswipe.

uncle in that same cool country no law enforcement agency goes ahead of the court to issue an arrest on a case that is still been debated in the court. The arrest warrant has a purpose for Christ sake

After championing the reinstatement of Maina, who will still brief you?

Shut ur dirty silly piggy mouth up. If those judgements were not kangaroo, gtb would be forced to pay the damages through cbn whether they like it or not. Looking public sympathy when u know u already guilty is ibos modus operandi .

He's lying!! If it's true he didn't know, then he's incompetent!

The most annoying thing now is that, after all the razzmatazz, what has the EFCC achieved by mobilising countless armed operatives and expending huge resources to arrest him, only to release him the next day? He wasn't even questioned, he wasn't informed of the reason for his arrest, just a lousy, primitive show of force - barging into his house before the break of dawn like armed robbers. And after everything you released him the next day, having achieved what exactly? Couldn't this have been better handled without this amount of undesirable and shameful bad image publicity that the useless agency brought to itself?

This country depresses me seriously. It's quite scary how animalistic, mentally unstable, thoughtless, brainless and incompetent so many people holding sensitive positions in critical government institutions are. We're all not safe at all.

You stand with GTBank and you're this hungry. What a hopeless situation you have found yourself in?

Ejiphill09:
"Before Buhari came to power:

I was buying a bag of rice N7,500 but later N23,000. Now N16,000. They said its for my own good, that local farmers are now very rich!
I was buying a bag of Semo N1,550 but later N3400. They said it is just to ensure food sufficiency!


We all go through this status yet no one sees any wrong in this APC government. [color=#006600][/color]


I was buying fuel at N87 per liter, but later N145. Now currently selling from N280-400 They said it is just a temporal hardship for the nation to move on!

I was paying 1,000 NEPA Bill, but later N5,000, they said it is to ensure steady electricity!

I was buying a pack of sugar at N250 but now N500. They said I should thank God for this government!

Sanusi raised alarm about missing $20 billion during GEJ administration, later reduced it to $10 billion, the nation was agog. Under Buhari Kachukwu raised alarm of misappropriation of $26 billion, no reduction but he was asked to go and reconcile with Baru and story ends!
Naira was 178 to $1 under GEJ administration ,but under Buhari administration it went up to N500 to $1 and now exchanging for over N306 to $1 and we are told the economy is the focus of this government!
HoS raised alarm that my president was aware of Maina's return but choses to be quiet, no denial, yet, no reason was given to Nigerians for that!

We used to have presidential media chat in which d president keeps citizens abreast with what's happening, we only had it once under this administration and no reason is given for the alienation of the citizens!

Almost 3 years gone, no single project has been commissioned under a government that has the highest history of budget in Nigeria!

I can go on and on...but, my challenge is that, people keep saying that PMB is the best thing that ever happened to Nigeria, even when this is not his first time in government. I am yet to be convinced." APC AND BUHARI NA SCAM.

Its well. My biggest surprise is the absence of any single project commissioned with 3 years budget gone .

You can not be brief nah every damaging news about efcc or apc are not always being report to you.

Hmmmm

Try very hard to understand that Nigeria is a domain of tribalism.

Ehiscotch:

LMAO. So some individuals' statuses in society have to be considered. So you mean they should get special treatment?
Innoson is an industrialist and should be treated differently?

Of course. So you don't know that someone's status in society is considered by the legal system? Why do you think some people get bail on self recognizance while others must produce surety?

stupid govt with brainless followers

It is not really special treat; the arresting agency have to look at the liabilities they will be exposed to, should they make a mistake and higher the status of that individual is in society, the greater the liability and the more likelihood that the oga at the top will be negatively be affected should their be a blowback, it is important to keep them in the loop.

It is the same thing in the corporate world and in society....banks assign their bigger customers to well polished representative.

As you can see the AG is been asked about this arrest and he has to respond, if they had arrested Mr. Nobody from the village, the likelihood of the AG been questioned about it is zero to none and in such arrest, the arresting agency need not inform him.

fineboynl:
when the police or EFCC sent invitation to anyone and the individual refuse to honor the invitation. the EFCC or police has no right to issue arrest to person like innoson in the manner they did. what they need is seek for arrest warrant from a court/AGF. the AGF should then assign arrest warrant to innoson after going through the charges.
and if the charges don't deserve arrest it will be trash by the court.
and instead advise they send him court letter.

the fact innoson is not a criminal and doesn't pose any threat to the public, what the EFCC should have done is to present the arrest warrant to innoson. having go through the validation of the warrant by then innoson can decide to follow them.

as it stand there are no arrest warrant as the AGF just confirm that he was not aware. the case will cost the EFCC big shame.

"An arrest warrant is an official document, signed by a judge (or magistrate), which authorizes a police officer to arrest the person or people named in the warrant. Warrants typically identify the crime for which an arrest has been authorized, and may restrict the manner in which an arrest may be made."

Not totally true.

The Police or EFFC can arrest anyone without a warrant, but they must charge that individual to court within 48hrs or release them.

If they intend keeping that individual beyond 48rs without officially charging them, they must ask the leave of a competent court to do so.

You must be mixing search warrant with arrest warrant.

Even if you see how it relates to tribalism will you believe
