No fewer than 500 legal practitioners from across the country, Monday, stormed the Supreme Court in condemnation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC) “illegal” approach against former Kogi Governor, Yahaya Bello.
In a statement signed by its co-convener S.K Alewu, the group lamented the EFCC’s attempt to arrest the former governor despite being served a valid court order that restrains them from doing so.
Alewu said not only has Bello’s fundamental rights been breached, he said the judiciary has become willing tools in the hands of enemies of our rule of law.
The lawyers, therefore, urged the Nigerian Judicial Council and President Bola Tinubu to call the EFCC to order to stop further abuse and disobedience of court orders
