The chairman of the Ilorin branch of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, in Kwara State, Barrister Sulyman Kosemani, has charged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to deal with public officers who mismanage public funds the same way the anti-graft agency is dealing with internet fraudsters.
He stated this when he led other members of his executives on a courtesy call to the zonal director, Harry Erin, of the Ilorin Zonal Directorate Office of the anti-graft agency in Ilorin, Kwara State capital. Kosemani commended the anti-graft agency on its war against corruption in the country, promising to work with it within the ambit of the law to tackle it.
Together, we can create a united front that strengthens the fight against corruption by working in harmony with the Bar. We can ensure that our collective efforts yield tangible results, reinforcing the trust of the public in both our institutions,' he further asserted. Responding, the Zonal Director, Harry Erin, thanked his guests for the visit, adding that the EFCC had always enjoyed a good relationship with the bar and would continue to work with it for better results.
