The CEO of Innoson Group said in a statement Monday that he withdrew his fundamental rights enforcement lawsuit against the anti-graft EFCC after he learnt that the GTBank had allegedly compromised the process.
Innocent Chukwuma, against whom the EFCC slammed a four-count of fraud last month, said an ex-parte application he filed before a Lagos court was summarily taken over by GTBank before it was determined.
“GTBank became aware of the pendency of the suit, got all the copies of the processed filed in the suit, then filed a counter affidavit and on December 21 and got it assigned to a complaint judge,” according to the statement signed by Cornel Osigwe, corporate communications lead at Innoson.
Mr. Chukwuma filed the ex-parte motion on December 20 to compel the EFCC to respect his fundamental rights, a day after he was arrested by anti-graft operatives at his residence in Enugu.
He said even though GTBank was not joined in the suit, the bank allegedly sent its legal representatives to pry on the court process filed by Mr. Chukwuma’s lawyers.
Mr. Osigwe said the attention of the Acting Chief Judge of the Federal High Court had been drawn to the matter for a thorough investigation.
A spokesperson for GTBank could not be reached for comments Monday morning.
On November 30, the EFCC slammed fraud charges on Mr. Chukwuma, the industrialist owner of the indigenous auto manufacturer, Innoson Motors.
The allegations border on attempted fraud, stealing, and forgery of shipping and financial documents.
His arrest followed his failure to honour an invitation from the EFCC, the agency said.
Mr. Chukwuma, however, denied receiving any invitation for questioning. He challenged the EFCC to produce evidence of any invitation sent to him before the public.
The industrialist was released in the evening of December 20, but his trial is expected to commence soon, although no date has been fixed yet.

This is getting very very serious

ettybaba:
I struggle to understand the reason given by this man; was the suit filed in secret and supposed to be heard by the court in secret ?
Innocent seems not to be innocent in this case afterall.
He definitely has something to hide.
How is GTB preventing you from suing EFCC for infringing of your fundamental human right and possibly claiming damages?
Hope the tribal warlords that open their mouth to wide radi to turn this to a tribal war have seen their folly.

You forgot to reply with kettyking moniker. Low IQ Afonja

INNOSON needs to get a good lawyer and never give in to intimidation.

Some people prey on you and hope you will not go to court and get your rights.

GTB must pay INNOSON coporation for illegal deductions using false pretenses.

Those still leaving their account at GTB should understand that if this could happen to INNOSON, think what GTB would do to you if they confiscate your deposit.

Hogwash...
GTB only offense is lending money to a home grown business.
You should rather warn Nigerians to beware of businessmen like Innoson who is capable of forging shipping documents.
A man who took a loan secretly but called on Ndigbo world wide when it was time to pay back.
