Justice Osiagor dismissed the application filed by Moukarzel, a Lebanese and Fidaa, a French national, holding that, “the court cannot quash a warrant that has already been executed”.
The judge had on November 8, 2021, issued a warrant of arrest for the arrest of the two businessmen for the offence of conspiracy and obtaining money by pretence, fraudulent diversion of funds, and stealing to the tune of 9,442, 788,578.93. The court granted the order after the police prosecutor, Sunday Ayodele informed it that the defendants have failed and refused to appear before it to take their plea on a three-count charge against them.
But the defendants instead of attending court filed an application asking the court through their lawyer, Mrs. T. O. Olatunde-Fesogbon to quash the arrest warrant. The defendants had claimed that their application was seeking an order extending the time within which they may seek leave to appeal the Order of the court made by Justice Osiagor on November 8, 2021.
