A High Court sitting in Lokoja, Kogi State, today restrained the EFCC from arresting, detaining or prosecuting former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello.
The court gave the directive in a two hour judgment presided over by Hon. Justice I.A Jamil.
Justice Jamil restrained the EFCC from infringing on the fundamental human rights of the applicant except as authorised by the Court. This is a definite order following the earlier interim injunction given.
Yahaya Bello had approached the court seeking to enforce his fundamental rights against the anti-graft agency.
The Court equally restrained the respondents from continuing to persecuting the Applicant.
The High Court had earlier dismissed the issue of jurisdiction as challenged by the EFCC.
