Court Refuses To Stop EFCC, Others From Arresting Nyako by Mcpadosky(m): 1:23am On Jun 16, 2015 |
A Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday refused a prayer by a former Governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako, seeking an order restraining the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, the police and the Department of State Services from arresting him. Nyako was reportedly quizzed by the EFCC for over eight hours on June 2, 2015 after he surrendered himself to the commission. The governor had, by an ex-parte application, sought an interim injunction restraining the EFCC and other security agencies from detaining him in relation to a case of alleged financial malpractices. He had instituted the suit following his apprehension that he could be arrested over the said allegations by the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Solomon Arase, or the DSS and prosecuted by the EFCC. But instead of granting his prayers, Justice Ahmed Mohammed asked his lawyer, Mr. Olukoya Ogungbeje, to put the other parties on notice by serving the court processes on them. Ogungbeje, while moving the motion, urged the court to restrain the respondents – the IGP, DSS and EFCC – from arresting him pending the determination of the main suit. The fundamental human rights enforcement suit is marked, FHC/ABJ/CS/474/2015, was filed on May 28, 2015. But in his ruling, Justice Mohammed refused the former governor’s prayer on the grounds that there was no sufficient reason for the court to restrain the respondents. The judge ruled, “Having read through the supporting affidavit, particularly paragraphs 5 to 19 which contain facts relating to this case, this court is unable to accede to the request for order of interim injunction sought.” He ordered Nyako to put the respondents on notice for the hearing of his application for an injunction. The judge also ordered Nyako to serve the originating motion on the respondents within seven days. He then adjourned the matter till July 1 for the hearing of the application. Nyako is, by the substantive suit, seeking among other prayers, an order restraining the respondents from arresting or detaining him in relation to allegation of financial recklessness in violation of his fundamental human rights. www.punchng.com/news/court-refuses-to-stop-efcc-others-from-arresting-nyako/ |

If you had nothing to hide, why did you run away after getting impeached. Opposition cannot intimidate you if your hands were clean. You returned because your party is in charge. Your days of impunity are over. Even if you escape the judgement of man, you will surely answer the Creator. 2 Likes |

This criminal that ran away after his was impeached only to return 24hours after his political ally Muhammadu Buhari was sworn in. Funny enough, the man's son was rewarded with APC Senate ticket and he's now a SINator. 1 Like |

When shall thy people have rest o Lord! Indeed, Nyako is one of the losers of apc merger.. He is really in for a long thing. Hope he survives it and learn his lessons. |

barcanista:Unlike the GEJ era he could not secure an injunction to prevent arrest. GEJ gave Odilli a perpetual injunction to prevent his arrest. In any event Nyako is GEJ's, who rigged for him in Adamawa in 2011. 1 Like |

bakila:So Jonathan was the person that took over from Obasanjo when Odili was given injunction? U should argÙe with sense. As for Nyako, so you mean it was Jonathan that "rigged him to power" all the way from Otuoke in Bayelsa? It was same Jonathan that chased out CPC's Buba Marwa from APC just for the "progrethieves" to give structure to Nyako? It was still Jonathan that told him to run when efcc invited him for corruption charges after his disgraceful exit? It was still Jonathan that asked him to return 24hrs after Buhari's inauguration? Common sense is indeed not common 1 Like |
