Oduah had, on August 26, 2015, obtained an interim injunction barring the EFCC from taking any action against her as regards the purchase of two armoured BMW cars at a cost of N160m in 2013 by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, under her watch.
Justice Mohammed Yunusa of a Federal High Court in Lagos granted the order following an ex parte application by Oduah’s lawyer, Mr. R.A. Oluyede.
Also restrained by the order are the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission; the Attorney General of the Federation and the Inspector General of Police.
The judge barred the respondents and their agents from inviting or arresting Oduah for questioning pending the determination of her main suit.
The anti-graft agency is contending that the suit was wrongly commenced in Lagos since the subject matter took place in Abuja.
The commission urged the court to reject Oduah’s suit for lacking in merit.
