The court had fined the Commission N1 million damages and cost of N200,000, respectively for the arrest and detention of Prof Dibu Ojerinde over alleged corrupt practices.

The Commission intends to appeal the ruling of the court.

The anti-corruption agency had a valid warrant issued by the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court dated 6th December, 2022.

Prof. Ojerinde had used several false names, aliases and forged means of identification such as Akanbi Lamidi, Adeniyi Banji, Habibulahi Lamidi, Joshua Olaniran Olakuleyin, etc to perpetrate his corrupt practices through various bank accounts and still retains the resources and influence to evade justice.

“The Commission remains undaunted and will continue to discharge its responsibilities with diligence and professionalism,” vows Mrs. Azuka Ogugua, Spokesperson of ICPC in a statement on Wednesday./SHARE THIS
