A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has declared as illegal, the declaration of the wife of former Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, Margaret as a wanted person by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

Mrs. Emefiele had dragged the Commission and its chairman before the court for declaring her a wanted person and publishing her photographs on its website without any valid court order.

She also prayed the court to order the EFCC to remove her name and photograph from the wanted persons list on its website and to apologise to her for the alleged rights infringement in two national television stations and three newspapers. The judge also ordered the EFCC to pay the applicant N3million as damages for infringement of the right.
