Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n

The Senate has called for a new, reformed and rebranded Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).<\/p>\n

Chairman, Senate Committee on Anti-corruption and Financial Crimes, Suleiman Kwari, spoke on Tuesday at the commencement of the 9th Senate Legislative Anti Corruption Strategy Implementation Session.<\/p>\n

He advised that ninety per cent of investigation be done before arrest is effected.<\/p>\n

\u201cMedia hype must stop. If you want to be effective forget the media, do the work and let your work speak for you,\u201d he told EFCC officials.<\/p>\n

Kwari disclosed that the 9th Senate was determined to ensure constant flow of information and engagement between the Senate and the EFCC.<\/p>\n

Aliyu Wamakko, a former Sokoto State Governor, expressed concern on EFCC\u2019s lean budgetary allocation for legal fees.<\/p>\n

He demanded adequate provision for the purpose in the EFCC budget for effective prosecutorial activities.<\/p>\n

Acting Chairman of the EFCC, Mohammed Umar Abba, sought the support of the committee through appropriation.<\/p>\n

On senators\u2019 inquiry on seized vehicles, Abba expressed pain at the deteriorating state of assets in EFCC custody.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are working on this challenge, and I am sure the Attorney General of the Federation is coming out with a gazette so that this issue will be a thing of the past, not only vehicles, but landed properties,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
