Court Dismisses FCCPC Criminal Case Against Qatar Airways CEO and Others
A Federal High Court in Abuja has struck out a criminal case filed by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) against Qatar Airways, its CEO, and other individuals. The case was dismissed due to a lack of diligent prosecution by the commission.
Justice Emeka Nwite presided over the matter and noted that the FCCPC had failed to appear in court on multiple occasions to present its case. This persistent absence led the court to conclude that the commission was not serious about pursuing the charges.
The FCCPC had accused Qatar Airways, its CEO, and several other individuals of various offenses. However, without the prosecution present to argue their case, the court had no option but to strike out the charges.
The ruling signifies a setback for the FCCPC in its efforts to prosecute alleged anti-consumer practices. The court’s decision emphasizes the importance of diligent prosecution and adherence to court procedures.
