Efcc’s Threat Of Arrest Confined Kwankwaso To His Residence – Lawyer by Chigold101(m): 3:30pm On Jul 01, 2015
KANO – Kwankwaso’s Attorney, Barrister Okechukwu Eze Wednesday told a Kano High court sitting in Gezawa that how EFCC threat of arrest of former Governor of Kano, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has confined him to his residence in Abuja.

Addressing the court on the experte motion filed to restraints the Anti corruption Agency from arresting the former Kano Governor but now Senator representing Kano central explained that the move by EFCC if executed would denied his client fundamental rights.

Okechukwu Eze said that “my client has been in his house over the threat of arrest by the EFCC and have been denied the liberty to perform his legislative duties as mandated by voters of Kano central District. ”

Kwankwaso’s Attorney further told the court that the EFCC action emanated from a petition by ‘unregistered association that has no written address’, as he pointed out that he was in court to halt the likely ‘anticipation of violation’ of his client right.

“We have expressive fear that Kwankwaso’s right to liberty, freedom of movement as guaranteed under the constitution is likely to be violated by EFCC”, Barrister Eze stressed.

Eze who admitted that “EFCC has the power to investigate financial crimes, but however declared that “it should be based and founded on reasonable suspicion”

He argued that Kwankwaso has not violated pension laws to warrant his invitation by the Anti corruption Agency, as he told the court that his client deserved an applause for bringing surpluses to the pension fund.

Subsequently, Kwankwaso’s lawyer prayed the court to restraint the EFCC from arresting him, while he further prayed the court that the status quo ante should be maintained pending the determination of the suit.

Okechukwu Eze pleaded with the court to grant his prayers on the ground that the “injunction would be used as a shield and not as a sword”.
The presiding Judge, Justice Mohammed Yahaya reserved rulings till Thursday.

Kwankwanso seek injunction and would probably get it.
Why dont bank robbers and petty thieves file for injunction after their crime, maybe they are just silly or greedy, they dont want to pay the legal fee......

Just thinking
