Kogi State Government has filed a suit against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over the allegation that it fixed N19.3bn bailout funds received from the Federal Government.
The state government asked the court to declare the publication by the EFCC as defamatory of character.
A High Court in the State had granted an interim injunction restraining the EFCC from issuing further publications over the issue.
The State Government, Accountant-General of the State, Momoh Jibrin; and Commissioner for Finance, Budget and Economic Planning, Mukadam Asiru, are claimants in the suit.
