A Lagos High Court, Ikeja, on Friday ruled that statements of two ex-employees of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) — Ezekiel Agaba and Ekene Nwakuche — to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) were voluntary.

Agaba, a former Executive Director of NIMASA and Nwakuche, a Personal Assistant, had alleged that their statements to EFCC were made under duress and therefore inadmissible.

They alleged that an EFCC investigator, Orji Chukwuma, had coerced them into writing incriminating statements during interrogation at the Commission’s office.
