The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Saththiyaraj Kantharasa, Vinith Ukantharasa, and a Nigerian, Anthony Adetokunbo, were to be arraigned on May 13 by the ICPC over alleged possession of fake Malaysian passports and making a false statement.

They failed to appear in court. Justice Goodluck on that day issued a bench warrant for the arrest of the two Sri Lankans and their sureties over their failure to attend the court for arraignment.

She fixed June 24 for arraignment after the ICPC counsel Mr. Anieken Ekong informed the court that the two Sri Lankans were still not in court.

Ekong said the ICPC reported to the police on the order of bench warrant issued against the suspects and their sureties.

He told the court that the police asked for time to enable them to act on it.
Ekong, however, said that the third suspect who had been remanded in the correctional center was in court.
