Legal Showdown: Clar Hope Foundation Moves to Quash Subpoena in Asset Recovery Probe
The foundation argues that the court is overstepping its authority, asserting that no criminal case or legal action currently exists to justify such a demand.

However, in a motion to quash filed through General Manager Jackson P. Gbamie, the foundation contends the writ is a legal nullity. Because there is no civil action, criminal indictment, or formal petition currently filed against the foundation in Criminal Court ‘A’, the organization argues the court lacks the subject-matter jurisdiction to enforce the order. Constitutional and Due Process ConcernsBeyond procedural technicalities, the Clar Hope Foundation raised a significant constitutional objection.
