A human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN) has said that Nigeria police, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and other anti-graft agencies only invite the rich for questioning during investigation while they pounce on ordinary Nigerians.
Falana said this on Tuesday at the Federal High Court sitting in Kano, after hearing on a human rights suit filed by the immediate former Governor of the state, Abdullahi Ganduje, seeking an order of the court to stop the Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission from arresting and investigating him on the alleged dollar bribe video in which he featured prominently.
"That is a class character of the law. Only a big man can go to court and say 'I don't want to be arrested'. It doesn't happen anywhere in the world."
