Activist Criticizes EFCC's Pursuit of Ex-Minister as Politically Driven
Activist Mahdi Shehu criticizes the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for its pursuit of former Minister Timipre Sylva, labeling it as politically driven and contradictory. Shehu accuses EFCC of ignoring major corruption cases involving powerful politicians and government officials while focusing on minor cases.
He points out alleged multi-trillion naira fraud in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) that EFCC has allegedly overlooked. Shehu warns that EFCC's selective prosecution and political interference could lead to its eventual collapse.
