This came on a day the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, distanced itself from the decision of
Justice Kafarati to decline ruling in the fundamental human
rights enforcement case brought before him by Senate
President.

Justice Kafarati had on Tuesday, disqualified himself from
the matter which was originally scheduled for judgement,
owing to bribery allegation levelled against him by two
online media outlets. However, Saraki, yesterday, said he
was dissatisfied that the judge was blackmailed by his
enemies to hands off the suit that was ripe for judgement.

In a protest letter, dated March 22, which he filed before the
Chief Judge of the High Court, Justice Ibrahim Auta, Saraki,
through his lawyer, Prince Ajibola Oluyede, insisted that
though he had sympathy for the judge, the interest of
justice would only be served if the judgement was
delivered. Oluyede, while speaking with journalists after the
submission of the letter to the Chief Judge, yesterday,
alleged that EFCC was the brain behind the publications
which he said were intended to intimidate the judge.

Meanwhile, the EFCC has distanced itself from the decision
by Justice Abdul Kafarati of the Federal High Court, Abuja,
to decline ruling in the fundamental human rights
enforcement case brought before him by Senate President,
Bukola Saraki. Spokesman of the agency, Mr. Wilson
Uwujaren, said last night that the commission had no idea
of the source of the information as it did not give out same
at any time.
