Justice Abdul Kafarati of a Federal High Court in Abuja, Thursday, issued an order of perpetual injunction restraining the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, from prosecuting the Managing Director of Capital Oil and Gas Limited, Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah and his company over their alleged complicity in petroleum subsidy fraud.
.
The court further barred the Inspector General of Police, IGP, and the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Bello Adoke, SAN, from taking any step towards prosecuting the applicants.
.
Besides, Justice Kafarati, while delivering judgment in a fundamental rights enforcement suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/284/2013 filed by Ubah and his company, faulted a recent invitation sent to the applicants by the EFCC.
.
Consequently, he granted four out of five prayers the applicants raised in their suit which challenged the decision of the anti-graft agency to re investigate the complaint that Ubah and his company were involved in the petroleum subsidy fraud.
