The order followed his continued failure to appear in court in an alleged corruption and bribery trial.
Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu turned down the lawyer’s explanation that the defendant was ill and on admission in London.
Dikko’s lawyer, Solomon Akuma, SAN, had presented a medical report before the court But the judge said the medical report bearing the address, N6 Ahmed Musa Crescent, Jabi, Abuja, contradicted Akuma’s claim that the defendant was on admission in London.
The ICPC in 2019 charged Dikko and two others with inducing the Managing Director of Cambial Limited, Yemi Obadeyi, to pay the sum of N1,100, 952,380.96 into the account of Capital Law Office.
The fund was described as a refundable “completion security deposit” for the purchase of 120 units of duplexes as residential accommodation for officers of the NCS.
The other defendants are former Assistant Comptroller-General of Customs in charge of Finance, Administration and Technical Services, Garba Makarfi and a lawyer and promoter of Capital Law firm, Umar Hussaini.

Once they have a corruption case,they run Abroad and their Lawyers announce hey are ill....
It shocks me a lot that every time a Nigerian politician or big man, gets orders to appear in Court, they are either too ill to appear or appear in a wheelchair. or are abroad in a medical facility. These guys steal money that they will not even finish spending in their lifetime. Na so Dieziani don loss for London.
