EFCC, Police, DSS restrained from arresting Fani-Kayode, Odumakin – Abuja Federal High Court
An Abuja Federal High Court has restrained the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigeria Police from arresting or detaining Femi Fani-Kayode and Yinka Odumakin.
Justice John Tsoho gave the order on Monday following an ex parte application argued by Chukwuma Machukwu-Ume on behalf of the duo.
Mr Machukwu-Ume told the court that the three security agencies were planning to arrest and detain his clients over comments they made with regard to the travails of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen.
“The spokesman of the EFCC, Mr Tony Orilede, was alleged to have made the threat to arrest them publicly at a conference where he represented the EFCC chairman.
“He said they are doing everything possible to arrest these two gentlemen just for speaking their minds.
“The EFCC is established to pursue corruption and not comments made by Nigerians, expressing themselves,” Machukwu-Ume said.
The lawyer told the court that his clients had gone into hiding for fear of being arrested for merely expressing their freedom of speech, alleging that their family lives had also been affected by the alleged threat.
Machukwu-Ume told the court that the application was brought pursuant to Section 6 (6)(b) and Section 46 of the 1999 Constitution as well as Order 4 Rules 3 of the Fundamental Rights Procedure Rules.
He urged the court to grant the order restraining the respondents from arresting and detaining his clients pending the determination of the application on notice.
Justice Tsoho said that he was satisfied that the applicants had made a case that their lives were being threatened.
He then adjourned the matter until February 4.

Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
