sapientia:
Police corrupted EFCC

There is a culture of extortion in the police force.

Which is why it became easy for EFCC within a few years to be completely emersed in bribery and corruption.

They should not employ police to just protect their assets.

They can invite the police if there is likelihood that an arrest can go violent.

If they ever remove police from EFCC and arm them.


Which police? Ur so called agency called efcc is a tool in the hands of any president. Until we carefully plan our constitution to remove these powers the president has over important agencies like the efcc, electoral body, judiciary, etc, we are not making any progress!

All these agencies are loyal to the president and his loyalist. That is where the problem started! U will hear the military saying they are loyal to the president instead of the country!

Our constitution is foolish!
Then, we will have what will be more dangerous than SARs

Did you read the part that said all chairmen of the agency had been policemen since inception? If you had read that, you wouldn't make this statement

Don't mind the children of nairaland
They don't know how efcc started and how it was initially constituted. They don't know the provisions of efcc act.
I wish they will have their wish and remove police officers so we can meet again in 5 years for mileage.

The narrative by the source is flawed. The greatest woe that ever befell the EFCC was to appoint police officers to lead the institution. Not only have they bastardised the Commission, but they have turned it into a laughingstock. I worked with them for over six years before I voluntarily left, and I can say this. Corruption in the Commission is worse than ordinary Nigerians would ever imagine. The police brought the entirety of its corruption apparatuses and injected it into the DNA of some of our cadet operatives.

1. EFCC has senior detectives up to level 17, and yet what the police did was stall their promotions or force them out of the system. See https://businessday.ng/news/article/youre-wrong-to-demote-director-appeal-court-tells-efcc/.

2. Police messed up the promotion of core EFCC operatives so that their seconded officers could remain as sectional heads and directors at the detriment of core staff, thereby stunting growth and morale. See https://www.vanguardngr.com/2020/07/corruption-police-destroyed-the-efcc/.

They established the EFCC because of the failure of the Nigerian Police. Why would any decent government entrust an organisation that was created to clean the mess of the police appoint the same police into the leadership of such a place?

It got so bad at a time that we had to be buying papers for photocopying and printing in one of our offices. DTAs was not paid for months and tribalism had become an entrenched value. If you are from a section of the country, you are guaranteed career progression and advancement but if you are from another, even if you work like jackal, the system will frustrate you. The cannibalization of the EFCC right now is as a result of the inefficiency of the police. Have you asked yourselves why EFCC rarely secures high-level convictions? or why its Chairmen have never been able to stand up to any irresponsible government in the Villa? The template for the Commission was to be like the FBI and be totally independent. Almost every high-level prosecution had the hands of Abuja (villa or their cronies).

I have worked with some of the most patriotic young men and women at the EFCC and I will say GET THE POLICE THE F*CK OUT OF THERE AND LET THE SORO SOKE GENERATION SHOW YOU TRUE CHANGE!!!
