Vanguard
30 January 2011
Lagos — They may not have escaped yet. In fact, hard times await them. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), does not have plans to drop charges against politicians who are currently undergoing trials in various courts across the country.
Even some of them who may have one way or another secured tickets from their party - and they are across party lines - EFCC is insisting that it would be part of the process of cleansing the Augean stable that the Nigerian polity represents.
Sunday Vanguard can authoritatively reveal that efforts by some highly-placed Nigerians with a view to ensuring that the anti-graft agency drops charges against them met a brick wall in Mrs. Farida Waziri, the EFCC Chairman. Mrs. Waziri, Sunday Vanguard learnt, is insisting that the lawyers working for the commission should fast-track proceedings using all conventional methods available to them.
