00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:59.439
obstruction of our oppressions. The Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission wishes to warn members

47
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:02.560
of the public that it is a
criminal offense to obstruct officers of the Commission

48
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:09.360

the lawful duties conflates reads the jail
term of not less than five years.

51
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:24.920
This warning becomes necessary against the background
of the increasing tendency by persons and groups

52
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:29.600
under investigation by the Commission to take
the laws into their hands by recruiting folks

53
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:34.279
to obstruct lawful oppressions of the e
SCC. On several locations, operatives of

54
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:40.120
the Commission have had to exercise utmost
restraints in the face of soft provocation to

55
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:45.720
avoid the breakdown of law and order. Regrettably, such disposition is being construed

56
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:49.800
as a sign of weakness. The
Commission therefore wants that it will henceforth not

57
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:55.720
celebrate any attempt by any person or
organization to obstruct its oppression, as such

58
00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:00.199

that the defendants should be served through his

00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:25.839
counsel, especially as he failed to
appear before the court. Yet again.

64
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:31.680
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission e

Essayl has invalidated the arrest warrants. The

71
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:09.800

all times. A warrant of arrest cannot

72
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:13.920
be hanging on Below's neck when we
are in this court. It appears to

73
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:16.920
us that the defendants will not get
justice because the court granted the warrants of

74
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:24.720
arrest before service, he said.
However, prosecution counsel Chemikiero s An in

of the defendants. He cannot be in

him coming here to take his clea.

79
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.839
My lord, this is a criminal
matter, not a civil matter. He

80
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.000
must come and take his clea.
It is a matter of over eighty billion

81
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:56.000
dollars. All these applications by the
defendants are to prevent his arraendments and frustrate

82
00:06:56.079 --> 00:07:01.160
the commencement of trial, he said
after hearing both Justice A White Adjoint Bulin

come directly to my floor. I
will invite my operators to interrogate you in

99
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:26.560

more honorable than that? Do you know

and order made by the Federal High Court

129
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.080

the order of the Coggi State High Courts.

137
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:20.559
The case before the Federal High Court
is a criminal charge, which is

138
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:26.120
