 And the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, ought not to exist in the first place, as it is doing the same job as the police special fraud unit. And this is the submission of the former president of the Nigerian Bar Association, Odisha Agbackoba, S.A.N., during a press briefing in Lagos. A correspondent, Lovie Kokoye-Dokong, reports. The press briefing harped on the level of corruption and the fight against a hydro-headed crime. Agbackoba took a swipe on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, arguing that since the commission is a creation of the National Assembly, it does not have the powers to interfere with activities of state governments. Agbackoba insisted that the EFCC is currently operating outside the constitution. Whoever wrote this constitution designed it for Nigeria to fail. Whoever wrote this, because on the one hand it seems to authorize the EFCC to interfere in state affairs, on the one hand. On the other hand, it does not. Then there are cases decided by the Supreme Court, in which they say federalism means two autonomous and independent governments. Now, if that is correct, then the EFCC has no right to go to the state's public account to say, we want to prove it, because they have no power. The human rights lawyer, however, said that he was not against the commission but to correct the anomalies of his workings. It's possible that even the EFCC doesn't understand exactly the nature of their powers. So I'm going to make an offer to the chairman of the EFCC, that I had initially spoken about going to court, but in the course of my research for the case, I can see why you might be making mistakes. So I'm ready to have a dialogue. Let us have a dialogue so as to understand exactly what the position is, because the constitution caused by the constitution is enormous, and I can see why they might be getting things wrong. If Mr. Bower takes me up on that, then that's the end. The former NBA president had last year, December, lambasted the EFCC over its recent actions against the Kogi state's government. Agbacuba maintained that the EFCC lacks the understanding of the law establishing it, noting that the 1999 constitution is structurally defective. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
