Malabu Oil Deal: Court orders arrest of Etete, Adoke, four others
A Federal High Court in Abuja has issued a warrant of arrest against a former Minister of Petroleum Dan Etete, and a former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Mohammed Adoke, who were implicated in the Malabu Oil scandal.
The warrant was issued by Justice D.Z. Senchi of Jabi Federal High Court to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) prosecuting the case.
The EFCC also got a warrant to arrest Raph Wetzels, Casula Roberto, Pujato Stefeno, and Burrato Sebastiano.
All the wanted men were meant to be arraigned before Justice Senchi on Wednesday, April 17, 2019 to face charges related to the Malabu Oil Scandal but failed to show up.
The EFCC had since 2017 pressed charges against Shell Nigeria Exploration Production Co. Ltd, Nigeria Agip Exploration Limited, Eni Spa, Raph Wetzels, Casula Roberto, Pujato Stefeno, Burrato Sebastiano, Duazia Louya Etete (aka Dan Etete), Mohammed Bello Adoke, Aliyu Abubakar and Malabu Oil & Gas Limited. All the defendants declared wanted had repeatedly failed to appear before the court.
In view of their persistent absence in court, the EFCC had through its counsel, Aliyu Yusuf, brought a motion ex parte praying the court for a warrant of their arrest, and an order for leave to execute the warrant outside of the jurisdiction of the court.
