Court dismisses Akwa Ibom suit challenging EFCC anti-graft powers

A Nigerian court dismissed a suit by the Akwa Ibom State Government that sought to challenge the EFCC's authority to investigate alleged diversion of public resources. The ruling affirms the EFCC's jurisdiction over state financial matters, potentially enabling the anti-corruption probe to proceed. This is a notable judicial setback for the state government and reinforces federal anti-corruption enforcement in Nigeria.
