The judge, Justice Ahmed Mohammed, held that granting the order during various challenges to the court jurisdiction in the matter would not be in the interest of justice.
A Federal High Court in Abuja has refused to grant an order of interim injunction sought by former Imo State governor and serving senator, Rochas Okorocha, against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and the Imo State Government stopping them from further interfering and confiscating his properties located in various parts of the country.
The Senator claimed that his properties had been marked in several states for confiscation adding that unless the preservative order was issued against EFCC and Imo State, he would be prejudiced. The request was opposed by the EFCC and the Imo State government on the ground that the court had no jurisdiction to hear Okorocha’s suit.
