After his 72-hour deadline passed, the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr. Festus Keyamo(SAN), petitioned the Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday to issue an order compelling the arrest and prosecution of PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar.
The Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offenses Commission (ICPC), and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) are listed as the second through fourth defendants in his lawsuit.
Keyamo is the director of public affairs for the PCC of the All Progressives Congress, the party in power, which is running Bola Tinubu for president.
He is specifically asking the court to rule that Atiku “is under a legal obligation to make available to the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Defendants, for the purpose of aiding their investigation, information available to him in respect of a certain bank account belonging to a company named Marine Float and other accounts of two undisclosed companies, which information he disclosed to a certain close aide of his named Michael Achimugu, as to how the said accounts were used.”
