Daniel Bwala, an aide to Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, has claimed that the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ola Olukoyede, has never investigated a single case before his new role.
Bwala made this claim while speaking in an interview with journalists on Tuesday, stating that the new EFCC chairman has not investigated a single case because he does not have an investigative background.
Speaking on the qualifications required for the position of the EFCC Chairman, he said that the position must be held by an individual with experience in law enforcement or security.
Vanguard gathered that Bwala said the position is for someone that comes from a security or law enforcement agency of the government not the private sector.
Bwala stated, “This is the point; there is a baseline. The baseline is that the person must come from a security or law enforcement agency of the government, the reference is the government not the private sector.
“The security is one that is covered by the National Security Agency Act which comprises DIA, NIA and SSS. Law enforcement compromises both EFCC, the police, the NSCDC and the rest….He didn’t have power to hold guns, he never investigated a single case because he did not come as an operative.”
