—The Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, yesterday, held that Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, was bereft of the powers to arrest former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, and spokesman of Pan-Yoruba group,, Yinka Odumakin, for allegedly peddling false news on social media without recourse to the due process of the law.
