A Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos State, has ordered the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to pay the sum of N5million to a businessman, Kennedy Izuagbe, for illegally declaring him wanted.
The court presided over by Justice Lewis Allagoa, while delivering judgment in a fundamental rights enforcement suit brought against the commission by Izuagbe, also awarded another N5million for breaching the businessman’s fundamental rights.
Justice Allagoa ordered the EFCC to publish an unreserved apology to the businessman on its websites and social media.
