A Federal High Court sitting in Yenagoa has stopped the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC from further investigating the former Governor of Bayelsa State and Senator representing the Bayelsa West Senatorial district, Seriake Dickson, over the allege undeclared assets between 2007 and 2020.
In the ruling, the Presiding Judge, Isah Dashien, declared that the assets acquired with loans when the former Governor was a member of House of Representatives should not be investigated any further having been declared before the Code of Conduct Bureau which issued a certificate of verification for them.
Reacting to the ruling, Dickson, commended the judiciary for their intervention and urged Nigerians to support an independent judiciary and Public institutions including the EFCC.
