Hearing in the Fundamental Human Rights fit by the former Governor of Imo State, Senator Rochas Okorocha, against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, was stalled at the Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt on Monday.

This follows a fresh application by the anti-graft firm.

The court had on February 8 adjourned the process in the suit brought by Okorocha till Feb. 14, 2022 for hearing on premises of late service of procedures on the respondent, EFCC.

When the case resumed on Monday, EFCC through its counsel, G.K. Latona, approached the court with a fresh motion on notice, praying the court for alternative of their document previously filed and to withdraw an earlier motion on notice had filed to change it with a brand-new one

While counsel to Okorocha, Ola Olanipekun, opposed the application, saying the fresh motion on notification has actually stalled the hearing of the main fit which is against the earlier judgment against the commission, Latona however mentioned that the EFCC was not going contrary to the judgment of court.

He noted that there was no essential point to prove the claims of contempt.

The trial Judge, Justice, Stephen Pam, after listening to the arguments, said judgment of the court which purchased the EFCC to release the travel file of Okorocha and a stop to more examination against him still subsists.

He afterwards adjourned till April 4 for hearing.
