Those Obstructing Our Operations Risk A 5-Year Jail Term - EFCC by nlfpmod(mod): 1:27pm On Apr 18, 2024
EFCC PRESS STATEMENT

We Will No Longer Tolerate Obstruction of Our Operations

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission wishes to warn members of the public that it is a criminal offence to obstruct officers of the Commission from carrying out their lawful duties.

Section 38(2)(a(b) of the EFCC Establishment Act makes it an offence to prevent officers of the Commission from carrying out their lawful duties. Culprits risk a jail term of not less than five years.

This warning becomes necessary against the background of the increasing tendency by persons and groups under investigation by the Commission to take the laws into their hands by recruiting thugs to obstruct lawful operations of the EFCC.

On several occasions, operatives of the Commission have had to exercise utmost restraint in the face of such provocation to avoid a breakdown of law and order. Regrettably, such disposition is being construed as a sign of weakness.

The Commission, therefore, warns that it will henceforth not tolerate any attempt by any person or organisation to obstruct its operation as such will be met with appropriate punitive actions.

Cowards. A governor came and took away someone under your nose and your barking at the public.

Is it the public that stopped you from arresting Bello. See how they avoided addressing the message to the governor.
Una dey fear DSS protection cheesy
No wonder they locked your offices while you stood there helpless

Can you imagine the audacity;

A sitting governor using his thugs and immunity privileges to protect his predecessor against an arrest by the EFCC,

Government institutions are truly weak indeed:

What a pity!

There are so much doubts about the integrity of EFCC

This is the problem. The operations of the EFCC are selective and obviously partial.

Crime fighters don't operate the best systems in such manner. EFCC should be ashamed of all the evil committed against itself.

EFCC must have squads from IG office when effecting high profile arrests. Bello's gate should have been blocked off, with no one allowed to go in (ongoing police operation). Our cheap politicians have no regard for rule of law. EFCC represent Nigeria and Nigerians, EFCC has constitutional powers, and is bigger than any governor or minister. Politicians don't own Nigeria, they are our servants. We should deal decisively with criminal politicians, and treat them how an owner will treat his thieving servant. Like they do in Asia. EFCC must show strength in upholding the law, no backing down.

Since he is not bold enough to call the name of the person, he should wait to pick him up after the person's tenure expires. grin
