International Community Urged To Place Visa Ban On EFCC Boss Over Contempt

A coalition of pro-democracy and human rights groups in Nigeria said it can no longer sit back and allow lawbreakers to disguise themselves as law enforcement agents.

The coalition through a statement issued today by its Spokesperson, Comrade Ibrahim Bakori, specifically called on the international community to place a visa restriction on the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Abdulrasheed Bawa, adding that his repeated disobedience to court orders should no longer be tolerated.

While insisting that Nigeria is a country governed by laws and not emotions, the coalition said, "We urge the international community to place Visa restrictions against Bawa and members of his cycle for the dwindling rating of the outfit by global bodies as being deeply mired in violation of human rights, selective anti-corruption campaign, high-handedness, and disobedience to court orders.

“Bawa’s EFCC is currently occupying a damnable position in the chart of government agencies violating court orders in the African continent.”
