The bill is okay, except the aspect where it seeks to give the Attorney General the power to cancel an ongoing legal case being prosecuted by the EFCC.

Which do you want, Efcc behaving as rogue officers and not operating under the law which they have been doing recently. Are you aware such insult all falls down to the attorney general.
Most of y'all don't really know the work of an attorney general.

Spoiling institutions is not good, I don't like what this AGF is doing. They are about to make EFCC a real attack dog of a ruling party. I am not.bothered about the effects now but the effects 4 yes from now. Please where is the protest on monday against fuel hike starting from??

Wow shocked, with a bill like this, they shouldn't forget to change the name from EFCC to AGFCC grin. This bill will effectively make the EFCC chairman a figure head position. But that's their own issues. They will sort themselves out. Let me face my own abeg. If you want to buy cheap brand new 2020 cars, check my profile

Everything that this administration met, it has either watered down or completely destroyed.
With this bill, the AGF is now the EFCC head in disguise.
EFCC will no longer fight financial crime independently. Instead of the president strengthening EFCC he is rather weakening the agency. You commit a financial crime, when you get picked up, you just call the AGF. You have issues with the AGF, he will send EFCC after you.
The most annoying is the Nigeria Prisons Service they changed to Nigeria Correctional service, what are they even correcting when we don't have good facilities in our prisons

I totally support this. The chairmanship of the EFCC is just limited to the police and only the rank of assistant commissioner. Just imagine an assistant commissioner will now be rubbing shoulders with the IG of police.
People who have served and retired, and have proven integrity, who are not out to please anyone nor scared to step on any foot e.g Hameed Ali and this former Kano CP are those who should occupy such positions.

People like you are always blind to see any positive in another person's efforts. So you are okay with the current arrangement of the EFCC where it is functioning without a Board? Or where the EFCC chairman functions without a check?

The only thing I see wrong with this proposal is the power it seeks to give the Attorney General to cancel an ongoing case being prosecuted by the EFCC. Because such power if granted, can make the Attorney general to cancel cases or allow cases to go on based on political interest.

It's quite unfortunate that Malami and his powerful corrupt conspirators have succeeded in weakening this once powerful institution cus of his personal selfish interest.
Re: FG Weakens Power Of EFCC Chairman Creates Director General In New bill by olisaEze(m): 7:50am On Sep 06, 2020
Na waoh! There’s no institution these people met that they haven’t destroyed or are in the process of destroying now!
How many of the corruption cases that Malami has taken over from the EFCC have been concluded? undecided

This Act is terrible. It will turn EFCC to other useless agencies out there. I was expecting a more autonomous Act.


Anybody who is an attorney general would live fat. EFCC would be AGF's puppet.

We are saying the same thing. The power it seeks for the attorney general will weaken the agency. They should have just seek for the board which would have strengthened the agency without the clause involving AGF. On carefully looking at the bill, it is the AGF that wants more power, he smartly added the board creation to cover up the real intent. What will the board achieve when the AGF can easily override every organ of the agency.
Be smart, look beyond the cover.

exactly it simply Means whoever is being prosecuted should just go and bribe the AGF. personally I think all the members of the board should not be members of any political party.

This is a useless bill....the efcc should be made more autonomous instead of putting it under the AGF....let the efcc be an independent body.
