The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has expressed dissatisfaction with a judgment of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, High Court awarding 100 million naira damages against it in favour of a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Godwin Emefiele.
The Commission which said this in a Statement by it’s head Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale says the decision failed to take cognizance of the fact that the former CBN boss was held with a valid order of court.
Justice O.A Adeniyi on Monday fined the Commission after he ruled that the Commission’s detention of Emefiele in the course of his investigation was a violation of his right to liberty.
The EFCC says it will approach the Court of Appeal to set the judgment aside.
