The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has ordered the arrest of a former Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Usman Jibrin and two other officers over N1.5 billion money laundering charges.

The charges were instituted against them by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).

At the hearing on Friday, the presiding judge, Justice Inyang Ekwo approved the warrant of arrest following an exparte motion filed by counsel to the ICPC, Osuobeni Ekoi Akponimisingha.

Akponimisingha stated that Jibrin, Adam Imam Yusuf and Brigadier General Ishaya Gangum Bauka (first to third defendants), were being investigated over allegations of money laundering and making false statement regarding diversion of funds in their respective military and paramilitary institutions, into companies they alleged had a stake in.

According to him, at the commencement of the investigation into the allegations, the defendants were released on administrative bail on self-recognizance because of their status as serving and former public figures and has since refused to show up for possible arraignment in court.

“This Honorable court has the statutory as well as the inherent powers to grant this application pursuant to the provisions of sections 184 of ACJA as well as section 6 (6)(a) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended),” he added.

Listed as first to sixth defendants in the 17-count charge are Usman Jibrin Oyibe, Adam Imam Yusuf, Brigadier General Ishaya Gangum Bauka, Lahab integrated & Multi Services Limited, Gate Coast Properties International Limited and Ummays Hummayd Energy Ltd.

Two of the counts read: “That you VICE Admiral Usman Jibrin Oyibe (M) sometime in March, 2015 ог thereabout in Abuja within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, while being the Chief of Naval Staff of the Nigerian Navy did take possession of the sum of N22,000,000.00 (Twenty-Two Million Naira) deposited by Sand Prop Ltd into the Zenith Bank account number: 1013913028 of Gate Coast Properties International Limited, a company account which bears your signature against the name and passport photograph of one Lami Idum as the sole signatory, which sum you reasonably ought to have known formed part of the proceeds of an unlawful act to wit: fraud and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 18(2)(d) and punishable under Section 18(3) of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act 2022.
