The gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Akwa Ibom State, Umo Bassey Eno, has been reportedly convicted for cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property by a Chief Magistrate Court in Abuja.
It was gathered that a warrant of arrest for Eno was issued to the Nigeria Police Force by Chief magistrate Emmanuel Iyanna on December 23, 2022 after he was slammed with charges of “cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property” filed by one Edet Godwin Etim in the suit marked CR/94/2022.
According to sources, the criminal proceedings have been concluded and Eno was convicted by the magistrate court.
“The warrant of arrest is based on criminal proceedings conviction conducted by the chief magistrate court, Wuse, Abuja, and directed that the defendant be arrested and brought to court for sentencing having continuously refused to surrender himself to court,” the source said.
Eno won the Akwa Ibom PDP governorship primary held in May 2022 after scoring 993 votes, in a primary election that had a total of 1,018 delegates participating.
