JUSTICE MINISTER WARNS AGAINST OBSTRUCTION OF EFCC FROM LAWFUL DUTY.(PHOTO).

 Justice Minister warns against obstruction of EFCC from lawful duty


The Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, SAN has warned against obstructing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) from carrying out its lawful duty .


Fagbemi gave the warning Thursday  in a statement released in  Abuja.


The warning came a day after former governor of Kogi state, Yahya Bello was aided from being arrested by the EFCC by Governor Usman Ododo, Bello's successor.


“This is a matter of very grave concern. It is now beyond doubt that the EFCC is given power by the law to invite any person of interest to interact with them in the course of their investigations into any matter, regardless of status.


“Therefore, the least that we can all do when invited, is not to put any obstruction in the way of EFCC, but to honourably answer their invitation.


“A situation where public officials who are themselves subject of protection by law enforcement agents will set up a stratagem of obstruction to the civil and commendable efforts of the EFCC to perform its duty is to say the least, insufferably disquieting’’.


He added that running away from the law will not resolve issues at stake but only exacerbate them.


“Nigeria has a vibrant judicial system that is capable of protecting everyone who follows the rule of law in seeking protection.


“I therefore encourage anyone who has been invited by the EFCC or any other agency to immediately toe the path of decency and civility by honouring such invitation instead of embarking on a temporising self-help and escapism.


“This can only put our country in bad light before the rest of the world’’.


He said institutions of state should be allowed to function effectively and efficiently.


“I stand for the rule of law and will promptly call EFCC, and indeed any other agency to order when there is an indication of any transgressions of the fundamental rights of any Nigerian by any of the agencies’’.


NAN reports that the EFCC  on Wednesday also warned members of the public that it was a criminal offence to obstruct officers of the Commission from carrying out their lawful duties.


Section 38(2)(a(b) of the EFCC Establishment Act makes it an offence to prevent officers of the Commission from carrying out their lawful duties.  Culprits risk a jail term of not less than five years.


The warning , the EFCC said, became necessary against the background of the increasing tendency by persons and groups under investigation by the Commission to take the laws into their hands by recruiting thugs to obstruct lawful operations of the EFCC.


On several occasions, the anti graft agency said, operatives of the Commission have had to exercise utmost restraint in the face of such provocation to avoid a breakdown of law and order.
