The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it will appeal the 100 million naira fine imposed on it by the Federal High Court, Abuja, over the violation of the rights of a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) GODWIN EMEFIELE.

In a statement, the EFCC spokesman, DELE OYEWALE said the EMEFIELE’s detention was in line with the law.

According to OYEWALE, the decision failed to take cognizance of the fact that the former CBN boss was held with a valid order of court. 

He said that the Commission will approach the Court of Appeal to set the judgement of the Federal High Court aside.
