The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) suffered a setback when the Federal High Court in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, fined it N10 million for falsely listing Pastor Oyinmiebi Biribena and his wife, Pastor Beatrice Biribena, as wanted without a court order.
The case was heard by Justice Dashen, who decided in favor of Pastor Biribena, the leader of the Christ Embassy Church in Kumasi, Ghana.
The pastor and his wife were declared wanted by the EFCC on June 8, 2022, and the court found this announcement to be illegal, unconstitutional, and unjustifiable.
The judge ruled that EFCC had to publicly apologize to Pastor Biribena and his spouse for the incorrect publishing as a result of the unfair act.
