The Kogi State High Court in Lokoja, on Friday, ordered the chairperson of the EFCC, Ola Olukoyede, to appear before it on 13 May to show why he should not be jailed for allegedly disobeying its order.
The judge, I.A. Jamil, gave the order in a ruling in a suit marked, HCL/68M/2024, brought before him by former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello.
Mr Bello’s application initiating a contempt charge against the EFCC chair is part of his desperate efforts to stop his arraignment and trial on N80 billion money laundering charges instituted against him after he left office as governor in January.
