The chairman of the Ilorin branch of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, in Kwara State, Barrister Sulyman Kosemani, has charged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to deal with public officers who mismanage public funds the same way the anti-graft agency is dealing with internet fraudsters.
He stated this when he led other members of his executives on a courtesy call to the zonal director, Harry Erin, of the Ilorin Zonal Directorate Office of the anti-graft agency in Ilorin, Kwara State capital.
Kosemani commended the anti-graft agency on its war against corruption in the country, promising to work with it within the ambit of the law to tackle it.
He said the essence of the visit was to enable the new heads from both sides to familiarise and strengthen the existing cordial relationship between the two institutions for better results.
The NBA branch chairman, acknowledged the roles of EFCC in sanitising the country of corruption while also noting the roles of lawyers in ensuring that citizens’ rights are guaranteed.
“We are aware of your role in the society and our responsibility is to promote the rule of law and ensure that citizens rights are not infringed upon,” he said
