A Federal High Court, Abuja, on Tuesday, issued a bench warrant for the arrest of Dr Abraham Ehizojie, the Medical Doctor at the health facility of Kuje Correctional Centre. The warrant was issued over alleged refusal to produce the medical report of Tigran Gambaryan, the detained executive of Binance Holdings Ltd.
Justice Emeka Nwite gave the order following an application by Gambaryan’s lawyer, Mark Mordi, SAN. Recall that Gambaryan was whisked into the Court 9 of the high-rise building housing the court in wheelchair earlier in the morning. Gambaryan, alongside the cryptocurrency firm, is facing a money laundering charge preferred against them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission .
The EFCC counsel, Ekene Iheanacho, told the judge that he thought that the medical officer would be in court. Mordi then prayed the court to issue a bench warrant against the medical officer of the correctional centre, to ensure that he is produced in court on the next adjourned date. The lawyer also asked the court to make an order for his client to be given hospital remand immediately so that thorough medical examination could be carried out ob him, to know his true state of health.
