Court grants efcc permission to detain former agf adoke for 14 days

Here's a summary of the news:

The Federal High Court in Abuja has granted the request of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to detain the former Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Mohammed Adoke, for 14 days.

Adoke was arrested by the EFCC on August 11, 2021, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and brought back to Nigeria on August 12, 2021. He was subsequently arraigned before the court on charges of money laundering and other financial crimes.

The EFCC had requested that Adoke be detained for 14 days to enable it to investigate him further and gather evidence in connection with the alleged crimes. The court granted the request, ordering that Adoke be detained for 14 days from August 12, 2021.

Adoke's detention is seen as a major development in the ongoing investigation into his alleged involvement in corrupt activities during his tenure as AGF. The EFCC has accused Adoke of laundering millions of dollars in bribes and other illegal funds, and of using his position to facilitate the illegal transfer of oil blocks and other assets.

The case is ongoing, and Adoke's detention is expected to continue for at least 14 days, pending further investigation and possible arraignment on additional charges.
