Addressing journalists in Abuja, Co-Convener of the forum, Kayode Mogbojuri, who spoke on behalf of the over 100 CSOs, said the EFCC could not afford to become a tool of political witch-hunt in the hands of every “disgruntled politician, seeking political retribution against opponents or perceived enemies”.
Mogbojuri said: “In every country where the fight against corruption has been politicised, corruption has not only thrived but also imploded. Politics and law enforcement should be water and oil that cannot mix.” According to them, statements against Belo and the state government, credited to one JS Okutepa, counsel to the Social Democratic Party candidate in Kogi State, already gave political colouration to the fresh EFCC allegations.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
