Why EFCC Is Yet To Prosecute Odili – Magu by simtosul: 9:49am On Mar 01, 2016 |
– EFCC laments that court injunctions have hindered the commission from carrying out its duties – Peter Odili’s case began in January 2007 when the EFCC issued a report of its investigation into the finances of the Rivers state government – The case has been stalled since Justice Ibrahim Buba granted a perpetual injunction restraining the EFCC from probing Odili Magu says there is a perpetual injunction restraining EFCC from probing Odili. The chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, has said the commission cannot prosecute former Rivers state governor, Peter Odili, because of a perpetual injunction granted by a court which stopped the anti-graft agency from probing the former governor. Magu who disclosed this yesterday, February 29, in Abuja told the Leadership that the efforts of the EFCC to appeal against the court order restraining it from investigating Odili has been frustrated by the Court of Appeal which has declined to list its appeal against the injunction since 2008. Likewise, an EFCC prosecutor Johnson Ojogbene, complained that the issue of court injunctions have hindered the commission from carrying out its duties because there is nothing anyone can do about a court judgement except to obey it. Peter Odili’s case began in January 2007 when the EFCC issued a report of its investigation into the finances of the Rivers state government under Odili. The report alleged that over N100 billion of Rivers state’s funds have been diverted by Odili among other serious allegations of fraud, conspiracy and conversion of public funds. Following the indicting report, on February 22, 2007, the then attorney general and commissioner for justice for Rivers state filed a suit challenging the powers of the EFCC to probe the affairs of the state and claiming that the activities of the EFCC were prejudicial to the smooth running of the government of Rivers State. Subsequently, Justice Ibrahim Buba granted a perpetual injunction restraining the EFCC from probing graft allegations its operatives levelled against the former governor. The case has been stalled since then. https://www.naij.com/748351-efcc-cant-prosecute-peter-odili-magu.html |
