The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Ilorin branch, has called for the immediate transfer of the Ilorin Zonal head of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Micheal Nzekwe away from the state.
The acting Chairman of the NBA in the state, Aishat Omotayo Temim, in a press conference held at the Bar Secretariat, accused the Zonal Head of alleged violation of citizens’ rights at will and also lack of total respect for the rule of law.
Temim, in reaction to the arrest and unlawful detention of a member of the branch for nine days, pointed out that the EFCC like any other government agency is established by law and as such, must be guided by the laws in its operations.
The NBA, warns members of the Bar corroborating with the EFCC officials in subduing the rule of law to desist from such unholy acts otherwise, nemesis of law will catch up with them.
She directed members to boycott the Ilorin Zonal command of the EFCC for any business until the Zonal Commander is transferred out of Kwara State.
Temim also calls on the acting chairman of the EFCC Mr. Abdulkarim Chukkol to investigate the Zonal branch of the commission.
