EFCC Says Slow Judicial System Frustrating Anti-Graft War

  The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC, says the fight against corruption is being delayed by Nigeria’s slow judicial system and delay tactics by defense lawyers.

   The Deputy Head of EFCC, Ibadan Zonal Office, Kazeem Oseni, stated this at the 13th Biennial conference of Obafemi Awolowo University OAU, Muslim Graduates’ Association UNIFEMGA, Ibadan Chapter.

   Oseni who spoke while presenting a paper titled, Corruption in Nigeria: An overview and the Effort of the EFCC in Fighting the Scourge, said the EFCC is committed to the anti-corruption war of the Federal Government adding that, some progress has been made but, the operating environment has not been very encouraging.

   He said the Commission was responding to the challenges by enhancing the capacities of its operators and exposing them to the requisite skills required for efficiency.

   The Deputy Head of EFCC, Ibadan Zonal Office called for massive support for the Commission, pointing out that the Commission could only work with information offered by members of the public.
