The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said it will appeal a ruling of a Lagos High Court, presided over by Justice Lateef Lawal-Akapo, acquitted Chairman, Bi-Courtney, Dr. Wale Babalakin (SAN), and four others of 27 counts of fraud, conspiracy, and retention of proceeds of criminal conduct brought against them by the EFCC.
The Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, said in a statement on Monday that the commission would take the requisite steps, including an appeal of the verdict, after a careful study of the ruling.
