What To Know If EFCC Invites You For A Chat by snezBaba: 12:12pm On Jun 19, 2016
O.P's note: An invitation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is not your regular appointment. It is one that sends spasm through the body of the invitee as a visit to the office of the anti-graft agency is a visit that has the ability change the course of a person’s destination.
If you get an invitation from the EFCC, here are 10 things to expect;
1.You are likely guilty
An invitation by the EFCC is unofficially a sign that you are guilty of financial crime. Legally, a court has to decide if a person is guilty of a crime or not which makes every accused innocent until proven otherwise by a court. However, Magu has assured that anyone arrested by the anti-graft agency is likely not to come out clean because proper and extensive investigation would have been carried out before such invitation. What this means is that an invitation by the EFCC means there is a higher chance that you have committed financial; crime.

2.You’re not going home soon

Ask Femi Fani-Kayode and he will tell you a visit to the office of the EFCC is a long one. The office might be in Abuja or Lagos but it’s advisable you pack like you’re travelling to Australia. Fani-Kayode probably thought he would be questioned and be out of the anti-graft agency in a few hours but it soon became a long stay that turned into days and then weeks. Ask Olisa Metuh why he grew a beard while being held by the EFCC and he’ll probably tell you he didn’t know he was going to be there for a long time. What transpires during that period is not known but it will go a long way in shaping the case.
3.EFCC will storm your house(prison break)
An invitation from EFCC is likely going to be followed by fierce-looking operatives storming your house and retrieving what might be considered intelligence that will later be used against you. The house is likely going to be sealed for as long as the operatives deem necessary so if you need to take any valuables out, it’s better to do it quick.

4.Start thinking about Kuje prison(VIP)
Kuje prison in Abuja is fast becoming the home or interim apartment of people facing trial from the EFCC and if you land in the net of the anti-graft agency, you need to start finding out what living in Kuje is like. High profile persons like Raymond Dokpesi and Metuh have spent nights in the prison and the experience seems far from exciting.

5.You’re going to fall sick
Any tussle with the EFCC is likely going to leave you bruised if you eventually make it out. Many high profile Nigerians who have had tussles with the EFCC appear in court sick or ask the court to grant then time to treat themselves for strange ailments that didn’t occur during the period when they were reportedly spending their loot. The very vocal Metuh came to court and vomited, Sambo Dasuki claims he has cancer; Haliru Bello Mohammed appeared in court in a wheelchair, Kingsley Kuku fled to the US and sent pictures of himself in crutches while Diezani also shared pictures of herself looking cancer-stricken. Whether the sicknesses are real or not is a discussion for another day but you can bet sickness is one issue that can’t be far away from the case.

You’re going to blame Buhari
Of course there is no way you will engage in a tussle with the EFCC without seeing President Buhari as the architect of your woes. It’s also a sort of mental cleansing so its fine to blame Buhari. You can almost bet that if Buhari was not president, the issue of corruption might not be considered a big deal and you won’t be facing charges from the EFCC.

My NairaLand brothers fit Testify. cheesy
6.Your life will never remain the same
Whether you come out guilty or innocent (which is unlikely) from your tussle with the EFCC, your life will never remain the same. It’s going to be a bumpy ride full of media prosecution (or persecution). Some of your friends will desert you (ask Dasuki) while your life might come to a standstill (ask Fani-Kayode) while you struggle to untangle yourself from the crises EFCC has thrown you into. You might end up being less of a talkative (ask Metuh) and embrace the altruistic fight against corruption.

BottomLine:
Before you do it,Remember this face[Not Smiling angry )

The magu of a guy is not really a smart or honest man. We all know what people like Nuhu Ribadu and Dora Akunyeli stood for. They didn't blow some hot empty trumpets and supply the media with half truths.

A man who stands with the President rather than his country is not only naive but also has zero understanding of what a fight against corruption really means.

A man who lied he's yet to receive a petition against some persons when evidence of his acceptance is littered everywhere is an ignoramus whose IQ equals that of Kindergarten pupils.

We need smart and positively principled people to wage the war on corruption. Magu doesn't have the intelligence of anticorruption chief. You arrest a person and begin to look for evidence while ignorant and myopic masses applaud.
