EFCC Warns Those Who That Obstructed Yahaya Bello’s Arrest, Says “Its Criminal”

 

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday issued a stern warning to members of the public, stating that it is a criminal offence to obstruct the commission’s officers from carrying out their lawful duties.

 

The EFCC Establishment Act, Section 38(2)(a)(b), makes it clear that obstructing EFCC officers is punishable by up to five years in prison.

 

The warning comes in response to a growing trend of individuals and groups under investigation attempting to hinder EFCC operations by hiring thugs to disrupt legal procedures.

 

Several times, EFCC operatives have had to restrain themselves from reacting to such provocations to prevent any breakdown of law and order.

 

However, such restraint is now being interpreted as a sign of weakness.

 

The EFCC’s statement warns that it will not tolerate any attempts by individuals or organisations to obstruct its operations and that any such obstruction will be met with severe punitive measures.

 

“It is vital that the public complies with the law and allows the EFCC to carry out its duties without hindrance to ensure that justice is served,” the agency said.
