An Abuja High Court sitting in Garki on Tuesday issued a bench warrant for the arrest of the Director of Investigations and Prosecution of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), Joseph Eriki, over his alleged involvement in a land fraud case.
Justice Suleiman Belgore ordered the arrest after Eriki failed to appear before the court to enter his plea in response to a nine-count charge filed by the Federal Government against him and 11 other defendants.
The charges, which relate to land fraud, involve the conspiracy to defraud Etha Ventures Limited of several plots of land, specifically plots 461 to 470 and 486 to 496 in Sabon Lugbe, East Layout, Abuja, between 2019 and 2024.
