That is the law bro....

EFCC is empowered to investigate and prosecute money laundering and other financial crimes.

Perversion of Justice is outside the purview of the EFCC, I believe that should be within the powers of the Police.

3Dimension:


But that is not the only count,
I believe offering bribe is also part of the charges, is the Supreme court also saying the EFCC cannot prosecute bribery?

Golan007:
Does the issue of double jeopardy prevent him from being tried by the "correct" agency ?

Another criminal is left off the hook on the basis of technicality. Bode George, Orji Kalu, Olisa Metuh and now Nwobike. Supreme court keeps voiding their conviction based on technical jargon.

FreeStuffsNG:
Hahaha....See technicality. According to the SC, he perverted the law but EFCC has no right to prosecute him for perverting the law. Smh

Indispensable85:
My brother as painful as it is, it's actually not within the purview of the EFCC to have done the prosecution. A smart criminal just escaped justice by legal technicality.

Sometimes I wonder which should take preeminence: justice or technicality?

chloride6:
Lol,

Lucky chap ..

So who has the power to prosecute for perversion of justice .

Golan007:


He can be retried by the correct agency.

A court had previously found him guilty even if it erred by granting the incorrect agency the opportunity to try him.

The police can do its duty and we'll see if he is innocent then. conehead... Go and arrest him nah!! We know hungry dey sapa una and BMC chop money never come

You cannot blame supreme court. They are not there to support any party/person but to uphold the tenets of the constitution. EFCC is an organization that don't do proper investigation before prosecuting someone. They could just arrest you and sue you to court on the basis of suspiciousness . We have a case in court now that has been there for about 3 years because of EFCC. They just went to the defendants business, close it up, and detained him for about 6 months , collected over #20m from him , closed up his bank accounts, arrested anybody associated with him. We had to petition EFCC before the public complain commission, and other bodies before they finally sued him to court after about a year . After all these, they admitted that they don't have case against the man whom they have labelled as a criminal. EFCC even failed to appear in court in the hearing

If I have my way, I'll scrap off EFCC. how can you arrest someone and label the person as a criminal without proper investigation?

Note: This does not deny the fact that supreme court can be manipulated by any ruling party . Anything under the care of a black man is a problem itself.

Why do you like making everything tribal this girl? You are the very first person bringing in ethnicity in this thread. Is this what Nairaland turned you to be or you’ve always been this way?
