The Federal Capital Territory High Court has vacated an earlier order directing the Inspector-General of Police, Olukayode Egbetokun, to arrest the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ola Olukoyede, for disobeying a ruling of the court directing EFCC operatives to vacate a property in Abuja.

The EFCC had approached the court, urging the judge to vacate the contempt order, while noting that Olukoyede was not aware of an order mandating the commission’s operatives to vacate the property.

In a statement, the spokesperson for the EFCC, Dele Oyewale, confirmed that the judge has upheld the submission of the EFCC counsel, Rotimi Oyedepo, while purging Olukoyede of contempt of the court.

He matter was adjourned till February 7, 2024, for a hearing of the substantive suit.
