EFCC run non-partisan mandate, EFCC replies ADC

 

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Tuesday said it runs a non-partisan mandate.

It said it has been circumspect and dispassionate in the exercise of its mandate. 

It said the law was taking its course, whether suspects belonged to the ruling party or the opposition.

It said there is no sacred cow in the anti-graft war.

It described the attack by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) against the commission as unprovoked and shocking.

It asked ADC to avoid the unwanted blame game.

The anti-graft agency said it will not submit itself to blackmail to disclose ongoing investigations.

It said the opposition figures the ADC was trying unsuccessfully to whitewash, knowing in their hearts that they had issues that necessitated their invitations.
