This is contrary to the October 9 ruling of Justice Chikere, that the Commission be served.
EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren said the Commission frowns at the attempt by counsel to the plaintiff, West Idahosa to mislead the court with claims that the Commission had been served. According to him, " had the Commission been served, it would have been in court.

He however assured that the Commission will be represented in court once it is served with the relevant processes.Bishop Osadolor Ochie, a Benin- based cleric is seeking an order of mandamus to compel the Commission to arrest, investigate and possibly prosecute Oshiomhole for alleged fraud perpetrated during his tenure as governor of Edo State.
