Published

The Federal High Court sitting in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State has ruled that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) lacked power to investigate finances of the Governor Ayodele Fayose-led administration.

The court ruled that in federalism, the Federal Government is not an overseer or supervisor regarding finances of a State. According to the court, only the State House of Assembly can probe finances of a State.

The court, therefore, restrained the EFCC from interfering in the running of Ekiti State by either investigating or arresting any official of the State Government.
