Col Adegbe’s release comes barely 48 hours after he sued the EFCC for N100m in damages for what he termed as his ‘unlawful detention’.
In the suit filed at the Federal High Court, his counsel, Ogwu Onoja (SAN), urged the court to declare that his client’s arrest and continued detention by the EFCC since February 11 was unconstitutional and violated his right to personal liberty guaranteed by the 1999 Constitution.
In its response, the EFCC said the ex-ADC was being held on the instructions of the Nigerian Army.
The judge, Justice Yusuf Halilu, had fixed the ruling for March 1. But he is now back with the Army
Col Adegbe was on a promotional course in the United Kingdom before he was summoned to Nigeria by the army authorities and handed over to the EFCC on February 11.
He is being held by the commission for his alleged role in the distribution of over N10bn to delegates to the presidential primary of the PDP in December 2014, which produced Jonathan as the flag-bearer.

Oh my own is sit don dry look I no I will no go fight any one or even sue the efcc for there dramatic talk over corruption arrest so far but to see out come of it all, I never hear any one jailed all this time, if they don't know what they are doing anymore let efcc help us fight 1m boys and kidnapers.
ReplyDeleteHope EFCC do their work accordingly, you don't need to detain him on the instructions of the Nigeria Army, you can prosecute him for an offence with substantial evidence.
ReplyDeleteThat is only choice left to EFCC for now. But then, the end shall tell when more revelations comes up.

ReplyDeleteOk now, he should just know that if it is eventualy discovered that he also is involved in the stealing of our commonwealth, he will have to pay for it
ReplyDeleteThis is how corruption crusade should work for us,because if one chooses the judiciary as a way of escaping justice,other agencies should cooperate to hold the accused for his actions
