Double Wahala: Court issues warrant against Naira Marley over Internet fraud

Justice Nicholas Oweibo of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos has issued a production warrant against Nigerian singer, Azeez Fashola, also known as Naira Marley.
Naira Marley is being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on 11-count charges bordering on conspiracy and credit card fraud.
At the resumed sitting on Friday, October 6, counsel to the defendant, Olalekan Ojo (SAN) informed the court that the defendant was unavoidably absent from court owing to his being detained by the Police for interrogation in respect of the murder of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, also known as Mohbad.
Ojo, therefore, prayed the court for an adjournment of the trial.
Responding, the prosecution counsel, Bilkisu Buhari, however, prayed the court to issue a production warrant against the defendant to ensure his presence in court on the next adjourned date.

CP: Naira Marley to face trial for sundry crimes against Mohbad
Justice Oweibo granted the prayers of the prosecution counsel and issued a production warrant against the defendant.
The judge further adjourned the matter till October 30, 2023 for continuation of trial, according to Dele Oyewale, the acting Head, Media and Publicity of EFCC.
