Thursday, June 30, 2005 View all Press Releases PRESS STATEMENT ON TAFA BALOGUN AND THE ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL CRIMES COMMISSION (EFCC): A SHOW OF SHAME What took place in the premises of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja yesterday, Wednesday, June 29, 2005, between Tafa Balogun the former Inspector-General of Police and the officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) was definitely a dastardly show of horrible Shame. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) as an institution has been doing a lot to combat corruption in the country. However, the disgraceful episode whereby an accused person was dehumanized in such a barbaric manner yesterday has dented the image of an otherwise effective organization headed by an active, reputable and extremely hardworking Nuhu Ribadu. It is time that Ribadu should prevail on his officers not to complicate court matters with an out of court misbehaviour. Let us leave this unnecessary bravado and concentrate on the pith and substance of corruption, which form the basis of the charge against Tafa Balogun. I have a high regard for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) but what happened within the Court premises yesterday appalled and disturbed me.  CHIEF GANI FAWEHINMI LL.D, SAN |
