EFCC faults Court of Appeal ruling on prosecution of judges

EFCC lauds CJN’s move to prioritise corruption cases in courts

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, says it will appeal Monday’s ruling of the Court of Appeal which held that the agency lacked powers to investigate or prosecute serving judicial officials.

The Lagos division of the court delivered the judgment in a case between the EFCC and a judge of the Federal High Court, Hydiazira Nganjiwa.

The appellate court held that only judicial officers that have been dismissed by the National Judicial Council could be tried or investigated by the commission.

In a statement on Monday, spokesman of the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, said the commission considered the ruling as a “dangerous precedent that has no basis in law”.

Mr Uwujaren said the EFCC was confident that the Supreme Court would upturn the judgment.

“Criminal trial takes precedence over administrative procedures and it is strange that the Court of Appeal wants to put the cart before the horse.

“This is ridiculous! The appellate court simply wants to confer immunity on public officers from prosecution for corruption; it will not stand,” he said.
