A Federal Capital Territory, High Court, FCT, sitting in Maitama, on Friday has ordered the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to detain Mohammed Adoke, former Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, and Minister of Justice for 14 days.
Presiding Judge, Justice Othman Musa stated that Adoke should be held in custody pending investigation.
The judge gave the order while granting an ex-parte motion moved by EFCC’s lawyer, Fatima Mustapha to that effect.
“Application to remand the suspect in EFCC custody for 14 days pending investigation is granted,” the judge said.
It would be recalled that the anti-corruption agency has arrested Adoke at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja upon his arrival from Dubai yesterday.
