Uba

The Federal High Court in Abuja, on Tuesday, shifted the arraignment of Sen. Andy Uba and his co-defendant to in the alleged N400 million fraud case to November 6, 2025.

The matter, which was earlier fixed for Uba and Benjamin Etu to take their plea, could not proceed due to the absence of Justice Mohammed Umar in court.

The Federal High Court in Abuja, on Tuesday, shifted the arraignment of Sen. Andy Uba and his co-defendant to in the alleged N400 million fraud case to November 6, 2025.

The matter, which was earlier fixed for Uba and Benjamin Etu to take their plea, could not proceed due to the absence of Justice Mohammed Umar in court.

Justice Umar, who is handling the matter, was said to be sitting in another division of the court.

The court subsequently fixed November 6, 2025, for the arraignment of Uba and Etu.

It would be recalled that the judge had, on September 24, threatened to issue a bench warrant for the arrest of Uba, the former Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District, if he failed to appear in court on October 28 to stand his trial.

The development followed an application made by the counsel to the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Aminu Abdullahi, that a bench warrant be issued against Uba in line with Section 394 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA), 2015, following his continuous absence in court.
