The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has stated that it will not disobey court orders in the ongoing prosecution of corrupt public office holders.
The Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, told newsmen on Tuesday in Abuja that the EFCC had no reason to disobey court orders.
According to him, the crusade against corruption was not about him or the EFCC but the collective desire of Nigerians to move the country forward.
He said, “We have never had any reason to disobey any court order and we will not disobey court orders.
“It is not about me, it is about the desire to move this country forward.”
The EFCC boss was speaking against the complaints in some quarters that the commission was committing acts of rights’ violation against detained suspects.
A Lagos based-lawyer, Mr. Ebunolu Adegboruwa, had lately accused the commission of violating the rights of the spokesperson of the People’s Democratic Party, Chief Olisah Metuh, in a suit he filed against the commission.
