The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole, has urged the Federal High Court in Abuja to strike out a suit seeking an order compelling the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to investigate allegations of corruption against him.

The plaintiff, Bishop Osadolor Ochei, had, on October 28, 2016, petitioned the EFCC asking the commission to investigate some corruption allegations against Oshiomhole as governor of Edo State.

Dissatisfied with EFCC’s alleged refusal to look into the case, Ochei filed the suit marked, FHC/ABJ/CS/628/2018 before the Federal High Court in Abuja, seeking an order of mandamus to compel the EFCC to arrest and commence criminal proceedings against Oshiomhole over alleged financial fraud while he was governor of Edo State.

The plaintiff attached to his suit 86 exhibits.

His lawyer, West Idahosa, had told the court that there were documents and electronic pictures of palatial houses credited to the former governor, whose earnings throughout his lifetime, according to the plaintiff, could not have been able to afford.

Idahosa added, among other allegations, that there was evidence of diversion of Edo State funds by Oshiomhole.

He said there were also vouchers of exorbitant air fares that the former governor allegedly incurred.

Lol

Before nkor

The Saints can even do what they keep telling others to do. Go to the court to clear your name.

Oshiomole who is always quick to denegrate, malign and labbel the PDP as corrupt everytime he's in front of camera, quickly ran to the court to seek cover and protection to stop the EFCC (who wouldn't even dare to probe him anyway) from probing him. If Oshiomole is a 'saint' like he wants Nigerians to believe, why is he running helter sketer to seek cover from probe when he has nothing to hide? I remember how this man was making a lot of allegations of missing monies against Jonathan administration, meanwhile he was amassing wealth & building ''palatial houses'' with Edo state's money while painting PDP corrupt. Is Oshiomole not worse than Evans....

We are not yet ready for any meaningful change in this country
