The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has appealed the ruling of a Kogi State High Court that ordered the remand of its Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, for contempt.
The anti-graft agency, in a statement yesterday, said it had filed a stay of execution of the orders issued by the Kogi court.
On February 6, the state High Court ordered that Bawa be remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre for contempt of court.
The presiding judge, Justice R. O. Ayoola, also ordered the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to ensure the committal order was executed, just as he awarded N10 million against the EFCC.
The committal order was issued over a case involving Ali Bello, identified as a nephew of Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello, and the anti-graft agency.
