The incoming Buhari-led administration may discard the regulations drawn for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission by the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Adoke (SAN), The Punch reports.

The regulation, a subsidiary legislation derived from provisions of section 43 of the EFCC (Establishment) Act 2004, is believed to be hampering the independence of the anti-graft agency in prosecuting high profile corruption cases.

Section 10 of the regulation mandates the EFCC to report the outcome of its investigations on “serious or complex” cases to the AGF before commencing prosecution.

What constitutes a “serious or complex” case, according to Adoke, includes having a “significant international dimension,” involves money or assets worth N50m, or is likely to be of widespread public concern, among others.

“The incoming government will ensure that there is no interference with the investigation and prosecution by the EFCC. So, parts of Adoke’s regulation will be reviewed if not completely discarded,” the source said.
