A Federal High Court sitting in Warri, Delta State today dismissed a
fundamental rights enforcement application by Government Ekpemupolo,
alias Tompolo, challenging the freezing of his accounts and threats of
arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Justice E. A Obile upheld the preliminary objection by the EFCC and
struck out the matter on the grounds that it cannot sit on appeal over
an order made by a Lagos State High Court, and cannot also restrain the
EFCC from inviting or prosecuting the applicants.
