A Federal Capital Territory court has ruled that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission can continue to detain a former Attorney-General of the Federation over alleged financial misconduct. The court dismissed the request for bail, stating that the anti-graft agency acted within the law. The EFCC says investigations are still ongoing.
The ruling followed arguments from the prosecution that releasing the suspect could interfere with investigations. The defence team, however, maintained that their client’s rights were being violated and vowed to explore further legal options.
