The Federal High Court, Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State has ruled that the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC lacked power to
investigate finances of the Ekiti State.
According to the court, “in federalism, the Federal Government is not an overseer or supervisor regarding finances of a State.”
The court informed that only the State House of Assembly can investigate finances of a State.
The court restrained the anti-graft agency from interfering in the
running of Ekiti State by either investigating or arresting any official
of the State Government.
