Judge Alexander Owoeye of the Federal Superior Court in Lagos has suspended the hearing of the fraud case presented by the Commission of Economic and Financial Crimes (EFCC) against Ezequiel Onyedikachi, popularly known as Eezee Tee, citing an ongoing administrative procedure.
The EFCC has presented a position of four charges against Onyedikachi for alleged fraudulent conversion.

At the hearing on Thursday, high -level defenders Chikaosolu Ojukwu and Dr. Monday Ubani represented Onyedikachi, while Bilikisu Buhari appeared for the EFCC. Unlike the previous hearing, where he was absent, Onyedikachi was present in the Court.
Judge Owoeye informed both parties that he could not make any pronouncement on the case due to the ongoing administrative process.
“There is an ongoing administrative procedure in this case, and until it is completed, I cannot make any pronouncement on it,” said the judge.
He also rejected Ojukwu's request so that both parties maintained the status quo until the process was completed. The case was subsequently suspended to May 14.
