Keyamo drags Atiku, CCB, ICPC, EFCC to court
After the expiration of the 72-hour ultimatum to the three anti-graft agencies to arrest, interrogate and prosecute the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar for alleged fleecing of public funds, the Minister of State, Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo has dragged them to court.
He also joined Atiku in the suit dated 20th January 2023.
On Monday, the spokesman of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu presidential campaign petitioned the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), and the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), accusing the PDP candidate of four major infractions.
In a suit filed on Friday at an Abuja Federal High Court against the CCB, ICPC, and EFCC, the Minister prayed the court to make a mandatory order compelling the anti-graft agencies to invite and/or arrest, investigate and (if found wanting)compel Atiku to make himself available to the anti-graft agencies.
