Justice E. S. Chukwu of the Federal High Court, Maitama, Abuja, will tomorrow Tuesday April 14, 2015 rule on the extradition proceedings brought by the office of Attorney General of the Federation against former managing director of Nigeria Security Minting and Printing Company, NSMPC, Ehidiamhem Okoyomon,
Okoyomon
is wanted in the United Kingdom
over his alleged role in the bribery scandal involving officials of the Central
Bank of Nigeria,
the NSMPC and Securency International Pty of Australia between 2006 and 2008.
The
much awaited ruling had suffered three previous adjournments.
It
would be recalled that Justice Chukwu had on October 7, 2014 fixed
December 1, 2014 for ruling on the matter but later shifted it to January 23,
2015 on the grounds that the ruling was not ready. However, the strike by the
judicial workers prevented the ruling on January 23, forcing an indefinite adjournment.
But
the coast appears clear for Justice Chukwu to finally deliver his ruling.
