In a decisive ruling on March 10, 2025, Nigeria’s Supreme Court cleared the way for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate the administration of Dr. Peter Odili, who governed Rivers State from 1999 to 2007.
The landmark decision, delivered by a five-justice panel headed by Justice John Okoro, dismissed appeals lodged by the Rivers State Attorney General and the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, ending a nearly two-decade legal shield that had protected Odili from scrutiny by the anti-corruption agency.
