[JUST IN] Court dismisses EFCC’s case against Okorocha

156

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC) prosecution against former Imo State governor Senator Rochas Okorocha has been dismissed by a Federal Capital Territory High Court.

The EFCC’s claims of fraud and abuse of office were deemed an abuse of the legal process by the court.

The presiding judge, Justice Yusuf Halilu, premised his judgement on the fact that the EFCC had filed a similar charge against the former Imo State governor at the Federal high court, which case was decided upon in favour of the former governor in December last year.
