A Federal Capital Territory High Court presided over by Justice Sadiq Abubakar Umar has been urged by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to discountenance a motion brought before it by a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai and two others seeking to quash charges preferred against them.

The EFCC said that the three accused persons are public officers and that the Commission has an absolute authority to prefer charges against them.

The two other accused persons arraigned with El-Rufai are former Director-General, Abuja Geographic Information System (AGIS); Altine Jubrin, and former General- Manager, Abuja Geographic Information System, AGIS, Ismail Iro.
