Kogi govt , others cautioned to withdraw suit contesting EFCC’s legality

Kogi State government and other states have been cautioned to withdraw the suit questioning the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)’s legality and other anti graft agencies at the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court have not announced its decision yet. They stated that the date will be communicated to all the parties.

Attorney-General of Kogi State filed the suit marked: SC/CV/178/2023 before being joined by others.

In a statement, a civic group, CREAP Africa Initiative, stated that if the proposal is successful, it could weaken the efforts of the government particularly when it comes to fighting against corruption.

The group’s Executive Director, Sylvanus Udoenoh said, “We demand that the state governments withdraw this case and reaffirm their commitment to anti-corruption efforts in the country . The timing of this legal challenge, following a Supreme Court judgment on local government autonomy, raises serious concerns about the motivations behind this action.”
