The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Innoson Motors, Innocent Chukwuma, has filed a N200 billion lawsuit against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for defamation, malicious falsehood and unlawful imprisonment.

According to a statement released on Monday, the lawsuit has been filed at the Enugu High Court by Joseph N. Mbadugha of McCarthy Mbadugha & Co, the counsel to Innocent Chukwuma.

The statement reads, “The last issue Innoson had with EFCC was an invitation extended to him in 2012 based on a complaint against him by Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB). Innoson honoured this invitation and subsequently EFCC filed a charge against him at the Lagos high court. The charge was subsequently struck out.

“However, Innocent Chukwuma and Innoson Nigeria Ltd appealed against the order striking out on the basis that it ought to be dismissal and not striking out. The appeal no: CA/I/1330Cm/2017 is till date still pending at the court of Appeal Lagos State. Since then EFCC has never invited him.

“An order that the published words complained of; be retracted by the defendants and such retraction be published in two national newspapers, including the Punch Newspapers.”
