Court stops EFCC’s planned probe of Oyo finances, faults ‘fishing expedition’
A court halted the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) from investigating Oyo state's finances, citing the probe as a 'fishing expedition.' This decision contrasts with prior judicial rulings that urged restraint in limiting anti-corruption agencies and references a 2024 Supreme Court judgment affirming their investigative powers.
