The insidiousness of this badly executed job does more harm to the image of EFCC as an agency of government, than it has done to former Gov. Obiano.

As a rule, the EFCC does not allow visitors, suspects, guests, third parties etc., gain access to their premises with mobile phones or any electronic devices including cameras. Indeed, it is mandatory to surrender all such items to their security at the gate for profiling and labelling before access is granted. Anybody who does not go with a phone to tender and surrender, is denied access.

So, it can only be staff of the EFCC who took and circulated these pictures and videos. The person who did it, obviously operated behind an official desk as seen from the angle of photography. It is a crude and cruel violation of their operating code and rules of engagement. It also seeks to demean Mr. Obiano who has been in captivity with them and who has no way to respond to the sickening recording since his freedom was taken away in the course of the investigation.

Yes, the full wrath of the law should be brought to bear if former Gov Obiano has been found wanting in the discharge of his responsibility as governor. But snapping and circulating his picture in the statement room of EFCC is not one of the ways to bring him to justice.

I've been trying to hold myself back from making any public comment on this but I simply feel too pained at the selective application of different rules for different suspects by an agency that we respect so much and expect muc more from.. It is totally unacceptable to anybody of conscience.

They should change the rule to accommodate parading of suspects (like the police does illegally) or concentrate on investigating and prosecuting economic criminals.

Was Bianca's *dirty slap* not enough? Haba! ����

Buhari and Tinubu are behind Obiano’s EFCC ordeal... they are afraid of igbos success, especially the airport he successfully built

It still surprise me people are celebrating airport. As backward as the north is, no state in the North that doesn't have airport for the past 15 - 20 years ago.

EFCC does not care. It's not about fighting corruption or not. It is about you being in the good books of the cabals calling the shots in Nigeria.
Nigeria is a land of mindless impunity and corruption.

It is better for a governor to steal money and than work had to improve his state and leave lasting legacies. That is why the country is upside down.
