 to a Federal High Court){kind=link}
Former Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, on Monday has dragged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to a Federal High Court in Abuja, challenging his arrest.
In the suit filed by one of his lawyers, Mike Ozekhome (SAN), the Senator representing Imo West asked the court to declare his May 24 invasion of his Abuja home as illegal.
He also demanded N1 billion in damages from the Federal Government over the invasion.
AFRIPOST reports that Okorocha who was arraigned by the EFCC on Monday over alleged diversion of N2.9billion belonging to the Imo State government was granted bail in the sum of N500million with stringent conditions on Tuesday.
In the suit, the ex-governor argued that his No.3 Nyasa Close, Mississippi, off Ontario Crescent residence, was invaded by the EFCC without any legal justification, thereby denying him his constitutional right to privacy.
The EFCC and Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), were listed as respondents in the suit.
