A bench warrant has been issued by the Federal High Court sitting in Maitama on Abraham Ehizojie, the medical doctor at Kuje Kuje Correctional Centre health facility for failing to produce the medical report of Tigran Gambaryan, a Binance executive, or appear in court.
Justice Emeka Nwite also ordered that Gambaryan be taken to a hospital, specifically Nizamiye hospital in Abuja for a medical checkup for 24 hours at any time of his choice but under full security.
Osun Defender reports that Gambrayan arrived in court on Tuesday in a wheelchair.
The court had at the last proceedings on July 5, expressed dismay that the previous order to produce the medical results of Tigran Gambaryan was treated with levity.

Justice Emeka Nwite told an official of the prison service who was present in Court that he will not take it lightly if the order is disobeyed again.
However, the Judge’s order was not obeyed.
During proceedings on Tuesday, Justice Nwite inquired about the prison official present on his order.
The official said he delivered the order order to the doctor last week Tuesday as instructed.
Counsel to the defendant, Mark Mordi then prayed the court should issue a bench warrant against the medical officer of the prison service and that his client be remanded in a hospital immediately.
Mordi told the Court that his client who was whisked on a wheelchair chair has back pain and that his condition had since deteriorated.
“I hereby make an order of bench warrant on the medical doctor to appear before this court”, Nwite held.
The case was then adjourned to October 2024 for continuation of the money laundering trial.
