Presidential election: EFCC declares Buhari’s rival wanted for alleged fraud
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has told the Federal High Court in Abuja that Mr. Ambrose Owuru, the Hope Democratic Party ’s presidential candidate in the last election, was declared wanted for a pending case of alleged fraud pending against him in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
EFCC’s lawyer, Ibrahim Audu, gave this explanation on Tuesday at the hearing of Owuru’s fundamental rights enforcement suit challenging the legality of his being declared wanted by the commission. Audu said, “He was evading his trial and the High Court duly issued an arrest warrant against him.”It was on the basis of the arrest warrant that the publication was made.”
He also sought other restraining orders against the anti-graft agency to stop it from further making such publication.
