The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it had released the contentious Range Rover jeep and approved a refund of N40m to the applicant, AVM Rufus Adeniyi Ojuawo, as ordered by a High Court of the FCT. It also said it had started taking steps to set aside the committal order against its chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa.
The Commission made the disclosures Tuesday in a statement by its spokesman, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren.
The EFCC said Bawa ordered the release of the jeep to the applicant in June this year and also approved refund of the N40m to the same applicant.
In the Commission’s reaction, it said: “Despite this fact, the Executive Chairman, upon being aware of the said order of November 21st 2018 had released the Range Rover in question to the Applicant on the 27th of June, 2022 and had approved the process of the release of the remaining N40m”.
