“May his soul rest in perfect peace. ”Funeral arrangements will be announced later.”
Meanwhile, the Lagos State Government has dismissed reports that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has sued the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Sanwo-Olu had allegedly filed a lawsuit against the EFCC, alleging threats of arrest, detention, and prosecution once his tenure as governor concludes.
The suit, a fundamental rights enforcement action, was submitted to Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court in Abuja by Sanwo-Olu’s lawyer, Darlington Ozurumba.
During a court session on Tuesday, Ozurumba announced the withdrawal of an initial originating summons, stating that it had been replaced with a revised filing.
He confirmed that the EFCC had been served with the new court documents, although EFCC counsel Hadiza Afegbua indicated she had not yet received them, and the proof of service was not available in the court file.
Justice Abdulmalik adjourned the case until November 11 for further mention.
But reacting in a statement to Naija News, the Lagos State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Lawal Pedro (SAN), said Sanwo-Olu, at no time, sued or briefed any legal practitioner to file a suit on his behalf concerning the above subject matter.
According to him, the Lagos State Government is currently investigating how the case came to be without the government’s knowledge.READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>
