Its high time Nigerian youth who are sincere patriots gird up their loins and fight this over-corrupt leader who still patronise themselves as best option in d Nation's politics. If all these money be refunded, it enough 2 establish all d unemployed youths in this country.

Talking about the EFCC Act. It is very badly drafted. The key divisions of the EFCC are the Investigations and the Prosecutions Divisions. In particular the prosecutions because the success of any law enforcement agency is measured by the number of convictions and not the number of arrests. The first 2003 EFCC Act created several divisions including Investigation, Prosecution, Training etc. However, while directors were appointed for the other divisions no director of prosecutions was ever apponited and none has ever been appointed till date. The EFCC resorted to the ad hoc prosecution of cases by the likes of Rotimi Jacobs who was not a staff of the EFCC. Rather he was paid an average of N2.5m to prosecute each high profile case. Falana was the de jure head of the EFCC legal department. When the EFCC Act was amended in 2004 the prosecutions was reduced from a full fledged division to a department under the office of the chairman. Little wonder that the prosecutorial capacity of the EFCC was hampered and compromised. It is sad and unbelievable that prosecutions department of the EFCC has no proper structure unlike the prosecutions divisions of similar law enforcement agencies like the NDLEA. Who is the current director or head of the legal department of the EFCC? Does he have any authority over what cases and who gets prosecuted? Questions that need answers. Ask any serving member of staff of the EFCC and they will all tell you that Farida Waziri tried to organise that place. Unfortunately she did not have the sympathy of the corrupt Nigerian press who Ribadu settled regularly. You can go the the EFCC and make discreet investigations to check these facts. Rotimi Jacobs who prosecutes most of their cases bungled the charges because he had no prior criminal prosecutions experience but was skilled in civil litigation. The legal department of the EFCC urgently needs to be upgraded to a full division with a full director to be headed by a very senior lawyer with prior prosecutions experience preferably a former DPP if the federal or state government. This is the only way to bring sanity and success to the prosecution of EFCC cases.
