N4.8 billion alleged fraud: Judge returns Ibeto’s case file to Lagos CJ

Cletus Ibeto

The scheduled arraignment of the Chairman of Ibeto Energy Development Company, Cletus Ibeto, over alleged N4.8 billion fraud before a Lagos High Court in Ikejawas stalled due to the return of the case file by Justice Ismail Ijelu to the Chief Judge, Justice Kazeem Alogba.


The judge, therefore, adjourned the case indefinitely to await the decision on the various petitions written by the defendant, saying: “This case cannot go on because the case file has been returned to the Chief Judge due to many petitions flying around.

“I advise parties to liaise with the administrative judge to know the next step to take in the case.”
