P&ID: Judge Orders Briton’s Arrest for Jumping Bail

Pat Stevens/

Justice D. U. Okorowo of the Federal High Court, Abuja, yesterday, issued a bench warrant on James Richard Nolan, a Briton, for jumping bail and failing to appear before him in the ongoing $9.6bn P&ID fraud trial.

Nolan, one of the directors of Goidel Resources Limited, a Designated Non-Financial Institution, and another company, ICIL Limited, are standing trial on 16-count charges bordering on money laundering.

The last time the matter came up for trial, counsel to the EFCC, G.C. Ofulue, sought  a bench  warrant on the defendant, but the judge decided to give the defence more time to produce him on the next adjourned date.
