The Court of Appeal, Abuja, has set aside the judgement of a lower court barring the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), from initiating either civil or criminal proceedings against a former Accountant General of the Federation (AGF), Jonah Otunla.
A three-member panel of the Court of Appeal, in a judgement, marked: CA/A/657/2021, on Monday, 30 January held that Otunla failed to prove that there was actually a non-prosecution agreement between him and the EFCC.
The court upheld the arguments of EFCC’s lawyer, Sylvanus Tahir, SAN, and resolved the four issues, identified for determination, in favour of the Commission.
