The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has disclosed intention to appeal the ruling of the Federal High Court awarding the former CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele, a compensation of N100 million.
This was revealed in a statement by the EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, on Monday in Abuja.
He stated that the commission would appeal the judgement immediately.
Truth Live News had earlier reported that, Justice O.A Adeniyi had on Monday, fined EFCC the sum of N100 million in favour of Emefiele.
The judge ruled that the detention of the former CBN Boss in the course of his investigation was a violation of his right to liberty.
However, the anti-graft agency contended that the court’s decision overlooked the crucial detail that the former CBN boss was detained in accordance with a valid court order.
In response, the Commission stated that it would appeal to the Court of Appeal to overturn the decision.
