EFCC should not be scrapped but strengthened – Fintiri
Anambra Governor Ahmadu Fintiri has said that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) should not be scrapped but strengthened for better efficiency.
The Governor had earlier mentioned that he would decide whether to join the suit after reviewing it with his Attorney General.
However, reacting to a suit filed at the Supreme Court by 16 Governors challenging the legality of the laws establishing the commission, in an interview on Channels TV’s Hard Copy programme on Friday, Fintiri said it was not the right time to abolish the EFCC.
He said: “For me, it is not the right time to abolish the EFCC, whether it was established rightly or wrongly. We need to make it work better. We need to remove the politics that sometimes leads to claims of witch-hunting
He also criticised the practice of the Federal Government taking custody of funds seized from State fund embezzlement, calling it “a wrong practice.”
