ReplyDeleteAre you saying they shouldn't have. Arrested the layer. There is the office of the auditor general of the federation , do u even know the responsibility of efcc?
ReplyDeleteEFCC , wants to make a name for themselves where they don't deserve. Have they investigated the $20 billion NNPC fraud? Did they investigate Stela Odua? EFCC is worst than the criminals that they claim to investigate. They have been collecting bribe befor, those one was rejected because he did not pass through tier bribe agents.
