 over the alleged harassment){kind=link}
The Kogi State Government has threatened to sue the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over the alleged harassment of State officials.
Kingsley Fanwo, the State Commissioner for Information and Communications, issued the threat in a statement on Thursday in Lokoja.
Fanwo said that the action became imperative in view of the anti-graft agency’s alleged undermining of the orders of a High Court in a case between it and the State.
The State government accused EFCC of illegal harassment of State officials “over a bail-out fund the Commission tried fruitlessly” to prove was stashed in an account, despite a Court injunction restraining it.
The commissioner wondered why EFCC could claim ignorance of an Order of Court, which they have already appealed against.
