Alleged Dud Cheque: Senator Uzodinma Reacts To Bench Warrant Issued By Court To Arrest Him

 

TORI News reported on Tuesday that Senator Hope Uzodinma, who was accused of issuing N200 million dud cheque, was landed in more trouble after a court Abuja issued a bench warrant for his arrest.

 

The senator representing Imo-West, Smiec Engineering and Chemical Construction Company, Niger Global Engineering and Technical Company, were charged with alleged issuance of N200 million dud cheque to Chitex Ventures and Chima Akuzie.

 

In a swift response to the court's judgement, a statement releaed on Wednesday by Ralph Nwosu, an aide of the senator, said that political enemies are behind the story of his arrest because of his “rising gubernatorial chances” in the state.

 

Uzodimma who disclosed that the cheque he issued was on condition that Chitex Ventures executed the contract he gave it but it failed to do so, wondered how a matter which had been a subject of litigation and is pending at the supreme court found its way to the area court.

 

The statement read: “If not because some political enemies who are behind it and the facts are clear.

 

Uzodimma said the area court has no jurisdiction over matters of limited liability companies as it is only a ploy to dent his image.

“The attempt to use the area court to issue an illegal order has been quashed by an Abuja federal high court in Abuja on Tuesday. The public [should] ignore the fake news trending in the social media over the so called bench warrant,” he said.
