A Federal Capital Territory, High Court, FCT, sitting in Maitama, on Friday ordered the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to detain the formal Attorney General of the Federation Mohammed Adoke.
Recall that the former minister for Justice was arrested yesterday by EFCC upon arrival from Dubai, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International airport, Abuja.
Justice Othman Musa held that Adoke should be held in custody pending investigation.
The judge gave the order while granting an ex-parte motion moved by EFCC’s lawyer, Fatima Mustapha to that effect.
“Application to remand the suspect in EFCC custody for 14 days pending investigation is granted,” the judge said.
