The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr Ola Olukoyede, is expected to appear before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja, today to face charges of an alleged disobedience of court order.

Justice Abubakar Musa had on Tuesday ordered the Inspector General of Police, IGP, to arrest Mr. Olukoyede, and the commission’s Head of Proceeds of Crime Unit, Mr Aliyu Yusuf “for the purpose of committing them to prison for disobeying the Court’s Order”.

The judge issued the order after hearing the notice to show cause why the order of committal should not be made against the two anti-graft senior officials.

The motion which was filed by Chief Ikechi Emenike, sought to commit the EFCC’s boss and the Head of Proceeds of Crime Unit to court, for failing to comply with the court’s order directing them to vacate his private residence at number 6, Aso, Drive, Abuja.

The court had on December 6, 2023 ordered the anti-graft operatives to vacate Emenike’s house, but rather than comply with the order, the respondents were said to have mobilized and broke into the living room of the applicant.

“Upon reading a 16-paragraph affidavit in support of the application deposed to by High Chief Ikechi Emenike of No. 6 Aso Drive, Abuja the Claimant/Applicant in this suit to which four exhibits were attached, and a Written Address in support of the application;

Pictures of the breaking and certificate of compliance are here with attached and marked as exhibit B1 &2.

“That my lawyers caused to be filed on December 8, 2023, Form 48 that is, Notice of Consequences of disobedience but the principal officers of the defendant named in this proceedings refused to be served personally.

Adding that, “the defendant has refused to vacate the premises of the Claimant even after it was in receipt of the Order of this Honorable Court and the said Form 48.

“That in spite of the service of Form 48 on the Officers of the Respondents, there has not been any compliance with the Order of Court dated 06/12/2023”.

“That it is the duty of this Honourable Court to protect and enforce its subsisting Order otherwise public confidence in our Court would be eroded,” he added
