Malami orders EFCC to hand over Stella Oduah’s case file

$\"\"$

Factual Pursuit of Truth for Progress

The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has ordered the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to forward the case file of former aviation minister, Stella Oduah, to the federal ministry of justice for review.

Oduah and eight others are facing a 25-count money laundering charge. The EFCC alleges that they conspired to launder about N5 billion.

Malami’s directive followed a petition alleging that EFCC was being used to persecute Oduah.

At the scheduled arraignment of the defendants before the Federal High Court in Abuja today, lead defence counsel Ogwu Onoja notified the court that the AGF had on the strength of the petition dated February 4, called for the case file.

He argued that it would be improper for the court to proceed with the arraignment when the EFCC is yet to respond to the AGF’s request.

A Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal (CCPT) sitting in Abuja has granted an application for substituted service of the interim order, restraining Multi-Choice Nigeria Limited from its plan to increase tariffs on DStv and Gotv packages beginning From May 1.

The three-member tribunal, presided over by Saratu Shafii, granted the applicant’s motion following allegations that officers of the pay-TV firm in Abuja office refused to receive service of the order and other court documents.

The applicant, Festus Onifade, told News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday that the CCPT bailiff alleged that one of the company’s top managers at the Abuja office said the documents be channelled through their Lagos office, which is the headquarters.

The tribunal, therefore, gave the order of substituted service pursuant to Section 48 of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA), 2018; and Part N, Order 14 Rule 11(1) of the CCPT Rule, 2021.

In the certified true copy of the order of substituted service, Shaffi directed that the ex-parte order in suit number: CCPT/OP/2/2024, be pasted at the corporate headquarters or any known address of the branches of the Multi-Choice Nigeria Limited across Nigeria.

She also ordered that the documents be sent to the company’s “known email address, social media handles and any means of communication publicly known for Multi-Choice and shall also be pasted in the CCPT communication outlet.

The documents had since been pasted at the Multi-Choice Abuja office located at Wuse II.

NAN reports that the tribunal had, on Monday, stopped MultiChoice from increasing its tariffs and cost of products and services scheduled to begin today.
