A Federal High Court in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State has ruled that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC lacked power to investigate finances of the Ekiti State.
The Court explained that “in federalism, the Federal Government is not an overseer or supervisor regarding finances of a State.”
The also court informed that only the State House of Assembly can investigate finances of a State.
The court however restrained the anti-graft agency from interfering in the running of Ekiti State by either investigating or arresting any official of the State Government.
