A Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday, dismissed a suit seeking the sack of Ola Olukoyede as chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Justice Obiora Egwuatu, in a judgment, dismissed the suit on the grounds that the applicant lacked locus standi (legal right) to institute the case.
An Abuja-based legal practitioner, Mr Victor Opatola, had filed the suit against President Bola Tinubu over his appointment of Olukoyede as EFCC’s chair.
Opatola, in the suit, had challenged the validity of the appointment on the grounds that Olukoyede did not meet the years of service required by law for the office of chairman of the anti-graft agency
