The anti-graft agency, in a statement, noted that it has filed a stay of execution of the orders issued by the Kogi court.
It could be recalled that the High Court had on February 6, ordered that Bawa be remanded at the Kuje correctional centre for contempt of court.
The presiding judge, R.O. Ayoola, also ordered the inspector-general of police to ensure the committal order was executed, just as he awarded ten million naira against the EFCC.
The committal order was issued over the case involving Ali Bello, identified as the nephew of Yahaya Bello, Kogi governor, and the anti-graft agency.
On December 12, 2022, the judge ruled in favour of Bello over his arrest and detention by the EFCC.
But days after the court order, the EFCC re-arrested and re-arraigned BELLO over alleged money laundering.
In a statement, the anti-graft agency said the Kogi high court does not have the jurisdiction to entertain the matter heard on February 6, 2023, and December 12, 2022.
