Federal High Court, Abuja, on Tuesday, issued a bench warrant for the arrest of Dr Abraham Ehizojie, the Medical Doctor at the health facility of Kuje Correctional Centre.

The warrant was issued over alleged refusal to produce the medical report of TigranGambaryan, the detained executive of Binance Holdings Ltd.

Justice Nwite had, on July 5, ordered the management of the Nigerian Correctional Service to release the medical certificate of Gambaryan on or before July 16, and the judge gave the order following an application by Mordi who prayed the court to summon Ehizojie to explain why he had allegedly refused to make available his client’s medical report despite the earlier court order.

The EFCC counsel, EkeneIheanacho, told the judge that he thought that the medical officer would be in court, while, Mordi  prayed the court to issue a bench warrant against the medical officer of the correctional centre, to ensure that he is produced in court on the next adjourned date.

The lawyer also asked the court to make an order for his client to be given hospital remand immediately so that thorough medical examination could be carried out on him, to know his true state of health and also ordered that Gambaryan be taken to the Nizamiye Hospital for medicare for 24 hours, at any time of his choice but under full security surveillance, and the judge adjourned the matter until Oct. 11 and Oct. 18 for continuation of trial.
