    BREAKING: Supreme Court Dismisses Suit From 16 States Challenging Legality Of EFCC, Others

    The Supreme Court has dismissed the suit filed by Kogi and 15 other States challenging the legality of the laws establishing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and two other anti-corruption agencies.

    The other agencies are the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) and the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU).

    In a unanimous judgment on Friday, a seven-member panel of the apex court held that the suit was without merit.

    In the lead judgment by Justice Uwani Abba-Aji, the Supreme Court resolved the six issues raised for determination in the suit against the plaintiffs.

    The court held that the laws establishing the anti-corruption agencies were validly enacted by the National Assembly within its legislative competence.

    It faulted the claim by the plaintiffs that the EFCC Act, being a product of the United Nations convention on corruption, ought to be ratified by majority of the state House of Assembly.
