EFCC To Appeal Chairman’s Conviction
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has said it will appeal the October 28 conviction of its Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, for contempt of court.
The anti-graft agency’s spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, told our correspondent on Tuesday.
“The commission is appealing the ruling,” Uwujaren said.
A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Maitama has convicted the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Abdulrasheed Bawa, for contempt of court in relation to the anti-graft agency’s failure to comply with an earlier order of the court.
Justice Chizoba Oji, in a ruling, held that Bawa was in contempt of the orders of the court made on November 21, 2018 directing the EFCC to return to an applicant his Range Rover (supercharged) and the sum of N40,000,000.00.
