The Kogi state government has dragged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to court over "unsubstantiated allegations" on bailout funds.

Over the past months, the anti-graft agency and the Kogi government have been at loggerheads over allegations that the state runs an account in a Bank containing about N20 billion bailout loan.

The EFCC had alleged that there were suspicious fraudulent activities related to the account.

In a statement it issued, the Kogi government said it has sued the commission at the state high court, demanding the sum of N35 billion as damages.
