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