POPULAR lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) from Adamawa State, Rickey Tarfa, has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and was being detained in Lagos for obstruction.
A reliable source at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja told The Guardian last night that Tarfa had allegedly obstructed officers of the commission from performing their duties by allegedly preventing the arrest of an individual, who has a case to answer with the anti-graft agency.
“There is an individual, possibly Rickey Tarfa’s client, who had a case at Igbosere in Lagos. The court had released him, but because he has another case to answer, our officers made a move to re-arrest him.
“But the Senior Advocate prevented and obstructed his arrest. So, the commission has arrested Tarfa for obstruction and he is being detained at our Lagos office,” the source said.
Commission’s spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the arrest to The Guardian on telephone.
“Yes, Rickey Tarfa was arrested. It is true he is being held in the commission’s office in Lagos,” he said without elaborating.
Tarfa is a lawyer with over two decades of experience at the Bar.
He runs a law firm with over 50 lawyers, 30 paralegal and support staff, as well as two retired Judges as consultants-in-chamber.

This is interesting

Sanity is gradually returning to our system.
This should be a warning signal to those who thinks that they are above board but fails to act above board.
If his client price is too high to protect, He should then stoop low to defend the high price.

Amazing

My question is why efcc suddenly wakes up? What changed? Salary increment and allowances or what?

Which other clime do politicians mindlessly loot billions of dollars together with their wives and children?

Stop attacking EFCC and supporting corruption. It's ungodly!

Let EFCC arrest them as many times as possible.

When the Head is good, the entire body will be a lot better. Thank God for President Buhari. His virtues and leadership qualities is paying off. Even those that may steal will have to do it in secret and not the usual in-your-face looting.
