A Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to maintain status quo and desist from arresting the Managing Director of Carlisle Properties, Mr. Kennedy Izuagbe, an associate of the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki.
The court also put on hold, the arrest of shareholders and staff of Carlisle Properties, believed to be owned by Saraki.

Izuagbe in an ex parte motion filed before the court, prayed it to stop the EFCC as well as its Director of Operations, Olaolu Adegbite, from further harassment and intimidation of the applicants by agents of the commission.

Counsel to the applicant, Efot Okoi, arguing the motion on behalf of Izuagbe and Carlisle Properties, said their intimidation was unconstitutional, illegal, null and void as well as a gross violation of their fundamental right as provided under sections 34, 35 and 37 under the 1999 Constitution.

Okoi argued further that until the hearing/determination of the motion of notice, the EFCC and its agents should be restrained from intimidating his clients, as well as carrying out any further arrest and detention of the applicants, their agents and associates.

Okoi also prayed for an order setting aside the letter of invitation from EFCC to Izuagbe and Carlisle Properties pending the hearing and final determination of the substantive suit before the court, adding that Izuagbe was only head of Internal Control at the SGBN and was never directly involved in loan approval.

The judiciary is the problem of this country.

Courts are issuing injection like dude cheque especially in corruption related cases. They should understand this government is not handling corruption cases like kid gloves which is synonymous with previous administration.
