The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, says it will not scummbed to the accusations by some political actors across the country, questioning its operation.
A statement by the head of media and publicity of the commission says a check list of arrests and prosecution by the EFCC in the last two years shows that strong members of the ruling party such as former governors, ministers and others not publicly known are sharing tables with a number of some opposition politicians as well.
The commission says what threatens democracy is not the EFCC doing its job, but the attempt to intimidate or blackmail it into abandoning investigating allegations of corruption against politicians in the opposition for fear of accusations of selectivity.
The Commission won’t succumb to blackmail into inconclusive investigations just to be seen to be non- selective in its operations.
