Nigerian court blocks EFCC investigation into Oyo State finances

A Nigerian court has issued an injunction halting the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) from probing Oyo State government finances, characterizing the attempt as an unauthorized fishing expedition. This ruling deviates from recent judicial precedents that have consistently upheld the EFCC's broad investigative mandate, creating legal uncertainty regarding the limits of federal anti-corruption oversight over state-level fiscal affairs.
