Crimes Commission, (EFCC), the Department of State Services (DSS) and
the Nigeria Police from arresting or detaining Femi Fani-Kayode and

Machukwu-Ume told the court that the three security agencies were planning to arrest and detain his clients over comments they made with regard to the travails of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen.
“The spokesman of the EFCC, Mr Tony Orilede, was alleged to have made the threat to arrest them publicly at a conference where he represented the EFCC chairman.
The Judge adjourned the matter until Feb. 4.
