EFCC: Nigerians face unjust humiliation under Bawa watch – Ohanaeze



Apex Igbo socio-cultural enterprise, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, has once again launched an investigation into the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, under the leadership of Mr. Abdulrasheed Bawa.

The organization, in a statement made available to DAILY POST on Wednesday, said the EFCC under Bawa was at an all-time low.

He therefore pleaded with President Muhammadu Buhari and the National Assembly to take urgent action to save the anti-corruption commission.

This was contained in a statement signed by Mazi Okwu Nnabuike and Comrade Obinna Achionye, ​​National Chairman and National Secretary of the group respectively.

While recalling what they called "the Gestapo style with which EFCC agents invaded Senator Rochas Okorocha's house in Abuja, the Federal Territory, the Ohanaeze youths said that Bawa had destroyed the popularity of the federal agency.

"The Zamfara State Government under Governor Bello Matawalle is also being unnecessarily harassed through EFCC traders. Governor Matawall, who has restored some level of normalcy to the Zamfara State, by no means deserves this type of reckless distraction. We have no doubt that the pass, like many others, is politically rushed. Enough of the media trials and witch hunts. The Governor should be allowed to concentrate.

“The EFCC has never been so ridiculed in this way as we see it under Bawa. The society has become a witch-hunting agent and that is only answering the bidding of a few powers that be.

"It is no longer forgotten how the EFCC under Bawa invaded the residence of Senator Rochas Okorocha, a sitting senator and treated him as a not unusual crook. Such a way of invasion is extraordinary in the Records from the US A..

"Just another day, the EFCC snuck into a court docket and received an in-between forfeiture order against Senator Ike Ekweremadu, a man who is already undergoing the moment of attempt the more atrocious."

“Several residents of the southern part of the United States have also been victims of the brutality of the EFCC as innocent homes are invaded in the middle of the night, with their windows, burglaries and roofs removed, it is enough for the EFCC to later apologize that he acted in error.

"We are of the view that the country cannot maintain such a crude form of operation. Media lawsuits, illegal invasions and arrests can in no way be a mark of an extreme anti-corruption organization Nigerians have suffered enough unwarranted humiliation and that is why we bother that it is time for Bawa to go,” the organization added.
