An Abuja High Court has ordered service of court papers on submission seeking order compelling the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC to arrest and prosecute the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC Adams Oshiomhole over alleged fraud.
The presiding judge, Justice Anwuli Chikere gave the order in an ex-parte request by an anti-corruption crusader, Bishop Osadolor Ochei, who alleged that Oshiomhole diverted state funds to personal use.
Justice Chikere, while directing that the EFCC be also served with the same Court process, stressed that the service be done within five days from October 9, 2018 when the order was made.
The ex-parte filed by his counsel, West Idahosa has Oshiomole and the EFCC as first and second respondents.
Idahosa, in arguing the motion,
urged the Court to allow the plaintiffs file their reply to the weighty
allegations made against them by the applicant in support of the federal
government’s anti-corruption fight.
