The Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed two separate suits filed by ex-Senate President Bukola Saraki.<\/p>\n

Saraki<\/a> sued the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, and Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB.<\/p>\n

Justice Inyang Ekwo on Wednesday struck out the litigations for lack of diligent prosecution.<\/p>\n

Neither Saraki\u2019s lawyer nor the defendants\u2019 counsel was in court for the proceeding.<\/p>\n

The former Kwara governor had filed suits FHC\/ABJ\/CS\/507\/2019 and FHC\/ABJ\/CS\/508\/2019 in which the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, Inspector General of Police and Department of State Security, DSS, were co-defendants.<\/p>\n

Saraki challenged EFCC\u2019s decision in 2019 to probe his earnings between 2003 and 2011 when he was governor.<\/p>\n

In March 2021, the Federal High Court in Lagos set aside an interim order of forfeiture issued in October 2019.<\/p>\n

The court then granted EFCC\u2019s request to confiscate Saraki\u2019s properties on No 17 and 17A, MacDonald Road, Ikoyi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
