The Federal High Court in Lagos on Friday granted an application by Innoson Nigeria Limited and its Chief Executive Officer/Managing Director, Mr. Innocent Chukwuma, to withdraw an ex-parte motion they filed against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) and Guaranty Trust Bank Plc.
They had sought injunctive reliefs against the commission, Attorney-General of the Federation, the Police, the Inspector-General of Police and Guaranty Trust Bank Plc.
Among others, Innoson alleged that his arrest and detention by the EFCC was instigated by GTBank.
He has since been released from detention. When the case, filed on Thursday, came up before Justice Rabiu Hadiza Shagari on Friday, GTBank’s lawyer Adebowale Kamoru, urged the court not to hear the ex-parte motion.
