RAID ON DIEZANI- ALLISON MADUEKE's HOUSE: My Opinion

"It is crass abuse of power for EFCC to have gone to raid the house of a former minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the manner they did without any search warrant, no invitation, no nothing and moreso in her absence. They cannot claim to enforce the same law they are breaking. This is not about politics, this is about upholding the rule of law. I am not holding brief for Mrs Madueke but the action of EFCC is very unprofessional and should be condemned by all and sundry regardless of one's political affiliation."

Don't you mean legal opinion from ibo and anti Nigeria
point of view?

I didn't even know, I also take it as gross negligence on the part of EFCC for not informing me duly. #myopiniontoo

You have to be sure if there was a search warrant or not cos I know efcc isn't so stupid and they'll know the consequences cos she's nt just anybody she was the petroleum minister nah

Much as I want the fight against corruption to go on, it MUST be fought within the ambit of the rule of law. Nigeria is not a Banana Republic. We have laws that govern the nation and the laws MUST be obeyed by both the government and the governed. Condoning any breach of these laws from any side and by any side is an open invitation to anarchy and lawlessness.

@ Nnoli. my brother I just had robust discussions with some one over this subject a while ago. while not hilding brief for Ms Madueke, it would be good to know if her house was searched with a validly obtianed warrant. if they did then no issues at all for me. Let her face the music if guilty

You wailers should stop these nigeria is not a banana republic talk whenever efcc or any other govt agency is doing thier Job in relatiom to corruption . Is nigeria a corrupt politicians save heaven republic?

They are yet to say so and the silence is loud enough for one to reasonable conclude that there was indeed no warrant for such raid. I will be surprise if they produce one. We are watching.

Please go and read the EFCC Act 2004 especially Sections 6 and 7 and you will see that the raid carried out by the EFCC is purely illegal. Until you stop politicizing this story, you will always veer off the line of the law.
