In a pivotal legal battle, the Supreme Court has reserved judgment on a case brought by 16 state governments questioning the constitutionality of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and other related agencies.
The ruling, which could reshape Nigeria’s anti-corruption landscape, is eagerly awaited as the court has yet to set a date for its verdict.
On Tuesday, a panel of seven justices, led by Justice Uwani Abba-Aji, adjourned after hearing arguments from the parties’ legal teams.
The decision to reserve judgment adds suspense to what could be one of the most consequential rulings in recent years, with potential wide-reaching implications for Nigeria’s governance structure.
