EFCC and freezing accountsOn June 26, 201612:45 amIn News, The OrbitI was one of the few who spoke out against the law establishing the EFCC under Obasanjo.The 4th Assembly which passed that law was railroaded, and it made the law that gave the president a tool for witch-hunt. In making that law, it overlooked certain modalities that should have made the EFCC truly independent. I had argued that the EFCC be placed under a reformed police system, and the Nigerian Police itself, placed not under the president, or the Minister of the Interior, but under Justice with an Independent Attorney General who reports both to the president and the National Assembly, as should the Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation. The EFCC in its current status could be used for witch-hunt, and this is exactly what seems to be the case in the Fayose case.http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/06/efcc-freezing-accounts/
