El Rufai’s asset declaration: Court issues arrest warrant of CCB

An arrest warrant has been issued by the Kaduna State High Court 2 against the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Bureau for contempt of court.

The arrest warrant was issued on Friday following a suit no. KAH/KAD/286/2015 between The State Governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai and Today’s Publishing Company Limited.

Today Publishing Company, publisher of The Union Newspapers, had filed an application requesting the court to subpoena the CCB chair to produce the governor’s asset declaration in the court.

A warrant form directed the police to arrest the CCB boss and produce him before the court reconvenes on February 13, 2019.

The presiding judge, Justice Mario Mohammed, granted the approval based on the application filed by counsel for The Union Newspapers, J.N. Egwuonwu (SAN), during the continuation of defence at the previous sitting.

Egwuonwu, represented by Hiifan Abuul, had written an application to the court to subpoena the CCB to tender the asset declaration of the governor before the court.
