The plaintiffs, in the suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/130/2020, filed by their lawyer, K. M. Okere, sought to compel the EFCC to investigate Okorocha and others over sundry allegations of financial impropriety while in office.
They claimed to have petitioned the EFCC in 2019, but alleged that the anti-graft agency failed to act on the petition.
The plaintiffs stated that, by their suit for judicial review, they want the court to order the EFCC to “investigate the allegation of corruption, money laundering, inflated contract, unlawful award of contract without due process and breach of Procurement Act, criminal over-inflation of contracts fully paid for with public funds against the 2nd to the 5th defendants in this suit, as contained in the plaintiffs’ petition dated 22nd August 2019.”
