It take this news as inconsequential. They are moving against EFCC because they have touched their fellow looter. What happened to those people that has been in prison for only God knows. Nonsense!

Nigerian will call the stupidity out of them and would restore them to their default settings.

Directionless people, ordinary CCT & CCB laws they couldn't amend, now they want to dare the almighty EFCC, I don't even this story in the first place, and if it turns out to be true, those senators that were not present but were added to 36 to make up 77 will by Monday hold another meeting and deny being part of any mumu arrangement that leads to nothingness.
