The inspector general of police (IGP) has served Umo Eno’s arrest warrant. Umo Eno is the People’s Democratic Party’s (PDP) candidate for governor of Akwa Ibom state.
He’s currently expected to carry out the arrest.
A chief magistrate court in Wuse Zone 6 of the federal capital territory (FCT) ordered Eno’s arrest on December 23.
Senior magistrate Emmanuel Iyanna issued the warrant after deciding that the candidate for governor was guilty of “cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property.”
Eno was found guilty after the trial was held without him since a source indicated that he had skipped the hearings.
Edet Godwin Etim is the complainant in the lawsuit with the case number CR/94/2022.
The Eno campaign committee has denied being aware of the lawsuit.
The senior magistrate asked you to arrest the named pastor, Umo Bassey Eno, and bring him before me, according to the arrest warrant.
The IGP has received service of the warrant through the police commissioner (legal).
This publication got a copy of the acknowledgement, which said that it was marked as “received” on January 9.
Eno, who is Udom Emmanuel’s top choice for the Akwa Ibom governorship, won the party’s primary in May 2022.
A total of 1,018 delegates cast their votes, and he received 993 of them.
