A Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed an application by Ihuoma Julia Nneji, described as the daughter of the ABC Transport founder, seeking to set aside a warrant of arrest. The court, presided over by Hon. Justice M. G. Umar, delivered the ruling on 16 June 2026. The request was made after the Nigeria Police Force previously obtained or acted on the issuance of the warrant on 16 April 2025.
Both reports state that the court did not grant the relief sought and held that the warrant remains in force. As a result, police enforcement of the warrant continues, subject to the court’s ruling and existing legal processes. The dismissal means the earlier arrest warrant is not vacated or withdrawn at this stage, and Nneji’s attempt to stop enforcement through the application filed in the Federal High Court is unsuccessful.
The reports do not detail the underlying allegations in the excerpts provided, focusing instead on the court’s decision regarding the warrant’s validity.
