Ex-Attorney-General of Nigeria and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Adoke is in hot soup.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Friday, December 20th, 2019 secured an order from the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory sitting at Maitama, to detain him for 14 days.

The court, in a ruling by Justice Othman Musa, granted an ex-parte application the anti-graft agency filed for leave to detain the ex-AGF in its custody to enable it to conclude ongoing investigation into the alleged role he played in the $1.2billion Malabu Oil bloc fraud.

For those who don’t know, Adoke was arrested upon his arrival from Dubai, United Arab Emirate, on Thursday. He was previously detained in Dubai by the Interpol.
