EFCC to Appeal Ruling on Freezing of Benue’s Account
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, having reviewed Monday’s which awarded N50million damages against the Commission and N25million each against UBA and Fidelity Bank in favour of the state government, says it will appeal the ruling.
EFCC said if the verdict is allowed to stand, “it may undermine the patriotic efforts of the Commission in tackling corruption”.
The Commission said its team of lawyers are making necessary arrangements to challenge the verdict saying the judgment “is a miscarriage of justice that cannot stand the test of time”.
