The High Court of the Federal Capital Territory has set aside the contempt proceedings and orders of conviction for contempt against the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa, giving the czar a breather.
Justice Chizoba Oji set aside the proceedings on Thursday after hearing an application by the EFCC Chairman.
The application was made pursuant to Section 6(6) (a) and Section 36(1) of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), Section 91 of the Sheriffs and Civil Process.
