In five separate judgements, Justice Ekerete Akpan held that it was impossible to restrain the EFCC from carrying out its constitutional duty, which was to investigate suspected financial crime. Akpan added that mere interpretation of EFCC's intention, especially as it bordered on N15 million bribery allegation when the anti-graft body invited the applicants for interrogation, did not amount to harassment. He, therefore, dismissed the application on grounds of incompetence.
“Just imagine, My Lord, the kingmakers completed their assignment of choosing the next successor to the throne on September 22, 2022, and a year after, the state government became dissatisfied, faulting the process,” Olayinka said. Counsel to EFCC, Mr S.M. Galadanchi, had told the court to discountenance Olayinka’s submissions because two of the kingmakers, Asimiyu Atanda and Lamidi Oyewale, graciously honoured the EFCC invitation and provided very useful information.
