Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court in Abuja has struck out a fundamental right enforcement suit filed by Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu seeking to prohibit the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, from arresting him after his tenure of office.
The Judge struck out the matter after counsel who appeared for Sanwo-Olu, Gbenga Femi Akande, moved the motion for the discontinuance of the case. Justice Abdulmalik had, on October. 29, fixed Nov. 26 for further mention into the suit.
The adjournment followed the submission of the EFCC’s lawyer, Hadiza Afegbua, that she was yet to see the fresh originating summons served on them by Darlington Ozurumba, who filed the suit on the governor’s behalf.
