Why The EFCC Lacks The Power To Investigate And Arrest Ekpenyong – Mike Ejiofor by ward90: 9:49am On Nov 23, 2017
Mike Ejiofor, a former Director of the Department of State Services says the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) lacks the power to investigate or arrest former Director Generals of the DSS especially on how operational funds were spent.

Ejiofor stated this on Tuesday while reacting to failed attempt by operatives of the EFCC to arrest the former Director General of the DSS, Ita Ekpenyong.

According to him, the DSS Instrument 1 of 1999 states that the power to investigate the activities of the DSS resides in the President, making it illegal for other agencies of government to investigate the DSS.

"I don’t have a problem investigating anybody but due process must be followed. By the DSS Instrument 1 of 1999, no person or agency is empowered to investigate the spending or operational matter of the DSS except the President. It is only the President that can ask for investigation. The DSS makes returns of its spending to the President annually.

I am surprised with what is happening. We have never had it before. He (Magu ) has no power or mandate to investigate the spending of the DSS. It is not done anywhere in the world. If he had the power, he should have gone to the DG DSS. Possibly he wants to settle scores because he was indicted by the DSS report which barred his confirmation. It has never happened in the history of this nation before.”

He added that warned government officials not to sacrifice the lkaw on the altar of personal vendetta.
