Court Overturns Contempt of Court Order Against EFCC Chairman Abdurashid Bawa
The Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed the conviction of EFCC chairman Abdulrasheed Bawa for contempt of court.
Justice Chizoba Oji set aside the decision on Thursday, after hearing the complaint filed by the head of the anti-corruption agency.
The court said it found that it cannot be said that the chairman of the EFCC was in contempt of court when the decision was made, as he had already given the order to return the plaintiff's car to a Range Rover model.
The court said documents show that plans have begun to return the complainant's car and 40 million naira.
On Tuesday, Justice Chizoba Oji ruled that the EFCC was in contempt of court by refusing to comply with the court's order to return a man's car and 40 million naira.
