The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has said that
it was not prosecuting the President of the Senate Bukola Saraki in the
recently concluded false declaration of assets case.
In a
series of tweets on its Twitter handle @officialEFCC, the anti-corruption
agency made it clear to Nigerians that it was not the prosecutor at the Code of
Conduct Tribunal trial.
The EFCC
also disowned counsel, Rotimi Jacobs, saying that he is an independent
anti-corruption lawyer to the state and could be counsel to any organisation.
During the two-year-trial of Saraki, Rotimi Jacobs was always referred to as
counsel for the EFCC, but the EFCC clarifies that he is not attached to the
commission.
For our friends that do not know, the #EFCC was
NOT prosecuting the Senate President.

The learned silk is an
independent lawyer for the state. He could also be counsel to ICPC, NIA or DSS.
