Criticism Trails Police Arraignment of Chappal Energies Boss by Police
Wale Igbintade All is set for the arraignment of the Founder, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Chappal Energies, Mr. Ufoma Joseph Immanuel, before the High Court of Lagos State,
Chappal Energies' CEO, Mr. Ufoma Joseph Immanuel, is set to be arraigned before the High Court of Lagos State, Ikeja Division, in connection with the alleged theft of an official vehicle. The police alleged that Immanuel conspired with others, whose identities are not specified, to steal a Lexus Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) belonging to Chappal Energies Offshore Limited.
Immanuel is currently facing a separate criminal charge by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arising from a dispute involving Immanuel and his business partner, Adebisi Adebutu, over commercial investment arrangements. The police's arraignment appears to question whether Immanuel should be held responsible for an asset the company continues to own.
Lawyers and police insiders have raised concerns about the specifics of the alleged theft and the possession of the vehicle by the company.
