Allegation
Bishop Osadolor Ochei petitioned the EFCC alleging that Oshiomhole, while Governor of Edo State, diverted public funds to personal use and acquired property in the United States, South Africa and Dubai worth far more than his legitimate income, alongside a mansion reportedly worth over ₦10 billion in his hometown of Iyamho; the petitioner sought a court order compelling the EFCC to arrest and prosecute him.
Outcome / Status
The Federal High Court, in a judgment by Justice Anwuli Chikere, held that the case had become statute-barred and declined to compel the EFCC to act; the ruling turned on the time bar rather than the merits of the underlying allegation, and no charges were filed.
Administration's response
Oshiomhole did not concede the allegation; the case was resolved on procedural grounds before reaching a merits determination.
