Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Abdulrasheed Bawa, has expressed concerns about corruption cases being lost to technicalities in courts, stressing that such a development may serve as a disincentive to the fight against economic and financial crimes.

Bawa stated this on Monday, May 23, 2022, in Abuja while giving his opening remark at the three-day capacity building workshop of the EFCC, themed ‘Judicial Dynamism: A Key Factor in the Fight Against Economic and Financial Crimes,’ organised for judicial officers, corruption investigators and prosecutors.

According to him, corruption cases being lost on technical grounds have a way of building confidence in corrupt elements and also negatively affect the image of the judiciary. He said, “As a commission, we do not expect every judicial decision to go our way, but there are instances where the EFCC and many Nigerians have been left at a loss about certain judicial decisions, where defendants who obviously have stolen our commonwealth and those who have aided and abetted them have been allowed to go home to enjoy their proceeds of crime on technical grounds.

“This has the tendency to negatively affect the cherished image of and confidence in the Nigerian judiciary both locally and internationally.“Those stealing and abusing our common patrimony do not wish us well. Judges are as much victims of corruption as the ordinary man on the streets.

This is a complete shameless admission of incompetency!” “Ordinary police divisional officers (DPO) hardly loose cases” despite their limited resources.. If it were in other climes, by now, you are supposed to have tendered your resignation letter humbly!”

EFCC too corruption.

This is corruption

Do your technical Job

Incompetent by design

a.k.a incompetence.

Such will continue to happen as long as EFCC arrest first on just profiling without deep evidential investigations. EFCC as far as I am concerned is an agency for witch hunting bcos it took the NDLEA to allege that about 4bn transaction passes through Abba Kyari bank account.
