Abuja-based law firm, Law Corridor, has said Gestapo raids should not be the pastime of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
In a statement on Friday, the Lead Partner of the law firm, Henry Kelechukwu Eni-Otu, said the decision of the new EFCC chairman, Ola Olukoyede, banning sting operations at night time was a welcome development.
The law firm also knocked the EFCC for the lack of due diligence in the unlawful arrest of some students of the Obafemi Awolowo University , Ile-Ife, Osun State, who were wrongly labelled as suspected internet fraudsters. However, the law firm said, “The ban of midnight raids by the new EFCC boss is a welcome development. This has been our cries and that of many civil rights advocates for years.“However, the ban on midnight stings by the new EFCC chair must be sustained beyond mere rhetorics to sanitise the EFCC and set the anti-graft agency on the right path.
