Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos, has instituted a legal action against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over an alleged plan to arrest and prosecute him after his tenure.In a fundamental rights suit filed before the federal high court in Abuja and dated June 6, 2024, the Lagos governor raised seven questions and sought 11 reliefs from the court.
Sanwo-Olu sought an order of the court restraining the EFCC from harassing, intimidating, arresting, detaining, interrogating, or prosecuting him in connection with his tenure as the governor of Lagos state. The lawyer claimed that the anti-graft agency is making a surreptitious plan to arrest some of Sanwo-Olu’s aides and family members based on false and spurious allegations of diversion of funds.
