An Abuja High Court on Wednesday dismissed a suit filed by
former governor of Ogun State, Gbenga Daniel, against the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, demanding N200 million compensation for the
alleged violation of his fundamental human rights.
Dismissing the suit, Justice Folasade Ojo held that the EFCC
acted within the limits of its statutory powers, when it arrested and detained
the former governor.
Ojo held that Section 6 of the EFCC Establishment Act 2004
confers on the commission the powers to investigate and prosecute economic and
financial crimes.
