Nigerian governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu faces EFCC's request to dismiss his lawsuit over alleged threats.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Nigeria has asked the court to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who accused the agency of threatening to arrest and investigate him after his term ends. The EFCC argues that the governor's claims are speculative and baseless, stating they have not taken any actions to infringe upon his rights or threaten him. Sanwo-Olu seeks a court order to declare the EFCC's threats unlawful and to restrain them from harassing or arresting him.
