The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has rejected a proposal by the president of the Nigerian Bar Association, Abubakar Mahmoud, for the agency to be stripped of its prosecutorial powers, saying the call is “self-serving” and aimed at creating “a cabal of untouchables”.
In a stinging statement signed by spokesperson Wilson Uwujaren, the EFCC said senior lawyers have been complicit in cases of corruption and money laundering, and some NBA members are “rogues and vultures”.
“It is too much of a strange coincidence that the suggestion to strip the EFCC of its prosecutorial powers is being floated few months after the Commission, in unprecedented fashion arraigned some senior lawyers for corruption,” the statement said.
