xEFCC Counsel, Chile Okoronkwo, made this known to Justice Anwuli Chikere when the fundamental rights enforcement suits filed by the immediate-past Senate president were mentioned in the court. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), however, reports that Saraki, on May 10, 2019, filed two separate suits marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/507/19 and FHC/ABJ/CS/508/19 respectively before Justice Taiwo Taiwo to challenge the action of the EFCC. But the EFCC later applied that the judge should recuse himself and the matter be transferred to another court. Justice Taiwo sent back the case file to the chief judge and the matter was reassigned to Justice Chikere for adjudication. Chikere, noting that the court vacation was around the corner, adjourned the matter until Oct. 7 for hearing.
