The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) group has begged President Muhammadu Buhari to call some of the security agencies in the country to order.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, November 22, SERAP said Buhari should take a swift action that would send a strong signal about his position on corruption matters.
“By moving speedily to stop this kind of behaviour by the SSS and NIA officials, Buhari would be making clear that under his watch, those accused of grand corruption would not be allowed to circumvent the law no matter their status in the society,” the statement signed by SERAP’s deputy director, Timothy Adewale, said.
He lamented that the DSS and NIA that is supposed to be part of the efforts to drive out corruption in the country are now the agencies obstructing justice.
“Nothing more fundamentally undermines public confidence in the fight against grand corruption and trust in government than to see state security agencies paid for by public funds apparently aiding and abetting those suspected of engaging in corruption to escape justice,” Adewale said.
The EFCC had initially invited Oke and his wife, Folashade, for questioning shortly after the former intelligence chief was sacked by Buhari.
