Ogungbeje was defeated on Friday, when Justice Ibrahim Buba dismissed the two fundamental rights applications.
His case on behalf Messrs Chief Kenneth Chukwuemeka Ajoku and Chidinma Ozurumba, against the EFCC was dismissed for lack of merit and for being frivolous.
Other respondents in Ajoku’s suit are a Lagos-based lawyer, Mr. Taiwo Kupolati, Folorunsho Sholanke, Jide Olaleye, Abraham Ogunleye, Kolade Akinwunmi and Dr. Ishaku The two petitioners, in suits marked FHC/L/CS/736/2017 and FHC/L/CS 803/2017, urged the court to declare that the arrest and detention by the operatives and agents of EFCC on May 4, at the instigation of other respondents for taking up the brief of his client and without cause, was “illegal, wrongful, unlawful, and unconstitutional as it violates the applicant’s fundamental rights as guaranteed under sections 33, 34, 35 and 36 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.” Msheliz
