Law Firm Challenges EFCC Statement Over Bauchi High Court Ruling

​A legal dispute between the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Pentech Engineering Nigeria Limited has taken a new turn, with the company’s legal representatives, Jim-Jim & Co of Jama’a Chambers challenging a public statement made by the anti-graft agency.

​The law firm, led by Jibrin S. Jibrin, released a statement today, August 28, 2025, accusing the EFCC of making “erroneous, false and misleading” claims about a recent judgment delivered by the High Court of Bauchi State. The case, with suit number BA/271/2024, was presided over by Justice Aliyu Baba Usman on July 30, 2025.

​According to the law firm, the court’s judgment confirmed the validity of the contract financing agreement at the center of the dispute. The lawyers claim this critical detail was omitted from the EFCC’s public statement, which was posted on the commission’s official page on August 27. The law firm attached a copy of the court’s enrolled judgment order to their press release to support their claim.

​The law firm’s statement also highlighted an earlier judgment from December 19, 2024, in which another Bauchi High Court, presided over by Justice M.M. Abubakar, also ruled that the contract financing agreement was valid and enforceable.

​Jibrin’s firm stated that the EFCC’s publication created a false impression that their clients, Pentech Engineering and Alhaji Hamza Koshe Akuyam, were attempting to evade investigation. The firm clarified that Alhaji Akuyam had already honored the commission’s invitation in September 2024 and was released on administrative bail, which he continues to observe.

​“The main question of law determined in Justice Aliyu Baba Usman’s judgment is to the effect that the Contract Financing Agreement the subject of the suit is valid,” the law firm’s statement read.

​The lawyers also refuted the EFCC’s claim that their clients had sought a “perpetual injunction of a general nature” against the commission’s activities, challenging the EFCC to provide evidence of such a request.

​“Discerning members of the public can therefore see through the deliberate falsehood, obfuscation of issues and outright misleading publication aimed at scoring no tangible result other than attracting cheap publicity,” the statement concluded.

​Jibrin’s firm urged the public to disregard the EFCC’s statement and instead be guided by the facts presented in the relevant court processes. The firm also noted that the EFCC was not represented in court on the day the judgment was delivered.
