 AAC SEEK FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO ON SOWORE IN EKITI The African Action Congress, AAC, has called for further investigation into the reported attack on Omoyele Sowore and other party members in Ekiti State, despite the arrest of eleven suspects. In a statement by its national publicity secretary, Rex Elanu, the AAC says new video footage has emerged which it believes could help identify more persons involved in the incident. The party has expressed concern over the handling of CCTV recordings from the restaurant where the incident occurred, and alleges that some stolen phones were traced to the governor's lodge in Ekiti State. It is seeking an independent investigation into these claims, the handling of recovered items and the circumstances surrounding the incident. The AAC has also called for the arrest and prosecution of any other persons found to have been involved, and demanded an investigation into the conduct of any security officers who may have acted unprofessionally.

 Court Dismisses Aisha Achimugu’s Fundamental Rights Suit Against EFCC


 


Justice M.S. Liman of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has dismissed a fundamental human rights suit filed by Abuja-based businesswoman, Aisha Achimugu against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.


In the originating suit no : FHC/ABJ/CS/466/2026, Achimugu approached the court for determination of whether the defendant,  EFCC’s   action of searching her house and seizing her cars and jewelries and other items was within the powers of the Commission.


 Achimugu also  asked the court to enforce her rights to privacy, including an order of the court restraining the defendant from threatening or harassing and invading her private residence.


Part of her claim was for the court to award a N10,000,000,000 (Ten Billion Naira) damage against the EFCC for what she described as invasion of her privacy.


Delivering judgment in the suit on Monday, October 10, 2026, Justice Liman dismissed the suit and held that the defendant has the power to search the plaintiff's property after receiving intelligence on the alleged criminal activities of the plaintiff.  “EFCC has the right to search the residence,” he said.


The judge said that Achimugu and her legal representatives failed to show reason to warrant the kind of damage she demanded from the EFCC and equally dismissed the request for N10 billion damages.


On the whole, Justice Liman agreed that there was nothing  that should have stopped the  EFCC from carrying out its statutory duties. The court therefore held that the matter lacked merit and was dismissed because  “ it is frivolous and it was brought in bad faith”.  The damage she sought was also denied.


Reacting to the judgment,  counsel to the EFCC, Emenike Mgbemele said the judgment  was in the interest of justice, adding that the suit was a ploy to waste the time of the court.
