N2.5bn Fraud: Court Orders Ishaq Kawu To Appear ‘Even On Stretcher’ by ahmedkoded95(m): 5:20pm On Mar 12, 2019
A federal high court in Abuja has ordered the director general of the National Broadcasting Commission, Ishaq Kawu, to appear before it in April, regardless of his health status.

The court, in a ruling on Friday, asked Mr Kawu’s lawyers to produce the defendant “even if he has to come to court on a stretcher”.

Mr Kawu and others are facing trial for allegedly diverting funds meant for the digital switch over system introduced by the Nigerian government.

He is being prosecuted by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related offences Commission (ICPC).

A statement from the commission on Tuesday, signed by its spokesperson Rashida Okoduwa, said the latest order on Mr Kawu was made by Justice Giwa.

Mr Kawu, who was to be arraigned alongside Lucky Omoluwa and Dipo Onifade, Chairman of Pinnacle Communications Limited and the Chief Operating Officer respectively, over their alleged complicity in the mismanagement of the N2.5 billion seed grant, failed to appear before Justice F. O. Giwa, saying he was on admission at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Kwara State.

The statement quoted Mr Kawu’s lawyer as saying that the defendant was on admission following recent medical challenges from a surgery he underwent a decade ago.

Mr Kawu’s lawyer requested an adjournment of the case.

The lawyer representing the ICPC, Henry Emore, did not oppose the application for adjournment but requested the court to note the repeated adjournments at the instance of the accused.

In a ruling, the commission quoted the judge, F. O. Giwa, as saying that the defendant must appear in court for the trial to proceed.

“You must ensure that your client is in court even if he has to be on a stretcher; I am agreeing to this adjournment taking into cognizance his health issues, but the trial needs to go on, you must ensure he is in court next time,” she said.

“The judge further ordered ICPC to investigate the medical certificate and report back to the court,” the statement said.

The moment you invite any public/political office holder to come and defend himself or herself in court; he or she must be sick. Imagine the same Dina Melaye who pretended to be sick few weeks back now jubilating online after election...now he is as fit as the Mighty Igo in his prime. By now all other hungry Nigerians should be on their death beds. This prank must stop, it is like adding an acid to an open wound.

He couldn't come to court due to "complications from surgery he had over a decade ago".

Funny clown. I'm sure he's one of Saraki's boys given federal positions.
