In a recent court case involving Ehie and his co-accused, including Jinjiri Bala, Happy Benneth, Progress Joseph, Adokiye Oyagiri, and Chibuike Peter aka Rambo, there have been significant twists and turns. Justice Emeka Nwite made a major ruling in agreement with defense lawyers Femi Falana, SAN, and Oluwole Aladedoye, SAN. They successfully argued that the court lacked jurisdiction to issue the arrest warrant.
The warrant was initially issued for the arrest of Ehie and the other accused for their alleged involvement in burning part of the State House of Assembly on October 29, 2023. Justice Nwite’s decision to lift the warrant came after an ex-parte arrest application by the Police Commissioner’s lawyer, Simon Lough, SAN.
Falana and Aladedoye filed motions challenging the arrest warrant on grounds such as the absence of charges filed by the Commissioner of Police and the territorial jurisdiction of the court. The complexity of the case raises questions about legal jurisdiction, terrorism accusations, and regional procedures.
It highlights the importance of fair justice and due process, emphasizing the need for a rigorous approach based on evidence and solid legal arguments. The case underlines the significance of respecting law and procedure and the rights of individuals in the justice system. The evolving developments in this case will continue to stimulate discussions about fairness, justice, and legal proceedings.
