Court Orders Arrest of Ex-NIA DG Oke, Wife

The Federal High Court in Lagos on Thursday ordered the arrest of former National Intelligence Agency (NIA) Director-General Ambassador Ayodele Oke and his wife Folasade.

Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke made the order following an application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Prosecuting counsel Rotimi Oyedepo told Justice Aneke that the defendants could not be found.

He said the couple also refused to pick calls from EFCC operatives.

“This application is not without merit,” the judge ruled.
