Nigeria: Court Stops EFCC's Planned Probe of Oyo Finances, Faults 'Fishing Expedition'

A Nigerian court halted the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission's (EFCC) planned investigation into Oyo's finances, citing it as a 'fishing expedition.' The decision contrasts with prior judicial rulings that emphasized restraint in limiting anti-corruption agencies' statutory duties, referencing a 2024 Supreme Court judgment affirming their investigative powers.
