We are ready to work with the incoming leadership of the EFCC, in order to prevent rights abuses, contempt of courts and disobedience to court orders in the future. We shall undertake this onerous responsibility and ensure that fundamental rights of Nigerians are not violated for selfish and parochial political interests, pseudo democrats and their running dogs “Transient Manipulators of Political Power” in contemporary Nigeria,” the statement added. Indeed, the lion share of the monthly generated and federal allocation are domiciled with federal government. In a statement made available to newsmen at the weekend and signed by six regional leaders, Bawa was accused of engaging in selective prosecution. “We shall organise a protest match to the EFCC’s office and other select offices of the Commission and anti-graft agencies across Nigeria, to register our disapproval with the grave disobedience to the judgement of the Federal High Court and other courts sentencing Mr Bawa for contempt. We are, therefore, giving Bawa 24 hours ultimatum to honourably resign from office or be ready to face mass action against his continuous stay in office to be coordinated by the Coalition for Pro-democracy/Human Rights groups and Coalition of Nigerians against corruption.

Our laws state that no citizen should be arrested and detained for more than a specific period without being charged to court. The current selective prosecution, framing up of some persons and other obnoxious practices against the principles of fair play, equity and justice can no longer be tolerated. Abdulrasheed Bawa, as youth leaders from the Northern and Southern parts of the country have issued him a 24 hour ultimatum or face a series of coordinated mass action.

The Bawa-must-go protests (NIGERIAN TRIBUNE)

ABDULRASHEED Bawa, the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC), is currently in the eye of the storm as Civil Society Organisations.

And there is no better way to do this than by effecting necessary arrests if and when any of the security chiefs is convicted again of contempt of court. Perhaps it is imperative to note that law courts and security agencies are critical components of governance structure and both have the ultimate goal of promoting civility and orderliness in the society through the interpretation of laws and enforcement of the ensuing orders from arbitration. The impression should never be allowed to gain traction that security agencies and those running them are not bound by the rules and regulations in the society, or that those heading the agencies are permitted to act with impunity. It is public knowledge that the Federal Government had time and again acted in contempt of court with impunity and so it would have been strange to expect that its agencies would not think that is the way to go. Appalled by Bawa’s evident disdain for the rule of law and court orders, the CSOs have swung into action to protest the excesses of the EFCC and its leadership. They are calling for a leadership change at the anti-graft institution in order to have a reformed EFCC that is law-abiding.
