**EFCC Seeks Supreme Court Intervention in Ajudua's Bail Case** In a fresh development, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has approached the Supreme Court to set aside the bail granted to Lagos socialite, Fred Chijindu Ajudua. The anti-graft agency is challenging the decision of the Court of Appeal, which allowed Ajudua to walk free despite being accused of a $1.043m fraud. **EFCC Seeks Reversal of Court of Appeal's Decision** The EFCC is arguing that the Court of Appeal erred in law by granting bail to Ajudua, despite the Supreme Court's earlier judgment in a related case. In that judgment, the Supreme Court had ordered that Ajudua remain in custody pending his trial. The EFCC is of the view that the Court of Appeal failed to properly interpret the Supreme Court's decision, and that it was inconsistent with the doctrine of judicial hierarchy. **Ajudua's Medical Reports Under Scrutiny** Central to the dispute is Ajudua's claim of kidney-related ailments, which he has relied on to delay proceedings since 2005. The EFCC has questioned the authenticity of medical reports issued by Ajudua's consultant, and has alleged inconsistencies in the reports. The commission is arguing that the Court of Appeal failed to properly evaluate the reports, and that Ajudua has been using his medical condition as a ruse to avoid trial. **Constitutional Implications** The EFCC is also challenging the Court of Appeal's decision on constitutional grounds. The commission argues that the Supreme Court's decision is final and binding on all subordinate courts, and that the Court of Appeal's reliance on a medical report dated November 19, 2025, was a clear violation of Sections 235 and 275(1) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). **EFCC Seeks Supreme Court Intervention** The EFCC is seeking an order from the Supreme Court to set aside the bail granted to Ajudua and to uphold the apex court's earlier judgment. The commission is confident that the Supreme Court will interpret the law correctly and ensure that justice is served in this high-profile case. Only time will tell if the EFCC's efforts will yield the desired outcome.
