The Oguebego faction of the Anambra PDP has approached a federal high court seeking a warrant of arrest to be issued against the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Counsel to the group, Chris Uche, told the tribunal that the attitude of the chairman towards the orders of the court and, his non-appearance at the court sitting is in contempt of the court.

Therefore he should be arrested and committed by the tribunal.

However, counsel to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Adegboyega Awomolo argued that his client can be tried in absentia.

This stance was supported by lawyer to the serving lawmakers from Anambra State, who is of the opinion that the conditions precedent for a person to be issued a warrant have not been fulfilled.

He maintained that the prayers of the Oguebego-led faction should be discountenanced.
