We earlier reported that the EFCC had been restrained by the Federal High Court from investigating the finances of the Ekiti state government.

The court sitting in Ado Ekiti on Tuesday, January 30, held that the anti-graft agency lacked the powers to investigate the finances of a state, adding that in federalism, the federal government is not an overseer or supervisor regarding finances of a state.



The verdict by the court was shared by Governor Ayo Fayose on Twitter.

Fayose said the EFCC was also restrained from arresting or investigating any official of the Ekiti state government.
