Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Olisa Agbakoba, on Friday described the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) as a terrorist organization.<\/p>\n

Agbakoba accused EFCC operatives of using their constitutional powers to terrorize Nigerians, which ought not to be the case.<\/p>\n

Featuring on Arise TV\u2019s Morning Show, the senior lawyer said the act creating the EFCC was the fastest bill ever passed into law by the National Assembly.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIn order to be able to resolve the issue surrounding the legitimacy of the EFCC, it\u2019s for the House of Assembly to clarify what the EFCC should be doing. Why do we have the EFCC, Special Fraud Unit, and ICPC all doing the same thing, yet they are not catching anybody?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe EFCC has done some good things, but it has also done a lot of bad things. Even Tarfa, as rogue as he was, being dragged; was that correct? In a sane society, do you bring a former Inspector General of Police and drag him? That\u2019s not right. If you bring the constitution and say maybe we give them a pass mark, I\u2019m not going to give them any pass mark because these guys are terrorists.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my view, they terrorize us. They use their might, in their red coats, to terrorize us so that when you hear EFCC, you become scared. That\u2019s not what a law enforcement agency should be; they ought to be better.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe deficiencies in the system are no reason for anyone to get away, because that would defeat the whole purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n
