The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Wednesday, issued a
bench warrant for the arrest of another British national, Adam
Quinn, following his alleged involvement in the gas supply contract
scam that led to $9.6billion judgement liability against
Nigeria.
Trial Justice Okon Abang ordered his arrest after he heard an
ex-parte application the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,
EFCC, brought before the court.
The court held that the arrest order was to enable the Federal
Government to immediately commence an extradition process to bring
the accused Briton to Nigeria to explain the role he played in the
controversial gas supply contract involving Process and Industrial
Developments Limited, P&ID.
Besides, the trial court noted that Quinn’s name appeared over
25 times in the 32-count amended criminal charge the EFCC preferred
against his compatriot, James Nolan, who is currently on remand at
the Kuje Correctional Center.
