The Supreme Court, on Tuesday, reserved judgment in the suit filed by 19 states challenging the constitutionality of the laws establishing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The court is to communicate a date for judgment to all parties.
The plaintiffs, in the suit marked: SC/CV/178/2023, anchored their claims on the Supreme Court’s precedent in Dr Joseph Nwobike Vs Federal Republic of Nigeria, arguing that it was the UN Convention against corruption that was reduced into the EFCC Establishment Act and that in enacting this law in 2004, the provision of Section 12 of the Nigerian constitution was not followed.
