The Federal High Court sitting in Jos, on Thursday threw out a 1.25 billion naira damages suit filed by Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha, against the now former Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, and the EFCC.
Okorocha filed the suit against the IGP and EFCC in November 2018 for allegedly invading and ransacking his house in Jos.
Delivering judgment, Justice Musa Kurya dismissed Okorocha’s application for lacking in merit.
Even though there was no record of how the search warrant was obtained, a search warrant dated May 3rd, 2017 from a Magistrate has been attached as exhibit before the court.
Okorocha alleged that the IGP and the anti-graft agency breached his fundamental human rights following the May 3rd, 2017 invasion.
