EFCC blasts Deputy Senate President Ekweremadu: We’ll not succumb to blackmail

Nigeria - The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has advised Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu to verify reports before making public allegations, adding that it would not succumb to cheap blackmail.

The EFCC said this in a statement by its spokesman, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, while responding to claims by Ekweremadu that the EFCC was planning to plant cash and guns in his home with the aim of arresting him and truncating his political career.

However, the EFCC said such a plan only existed in the imaginative mind of the person who informed the deputy senate president of the alleged plot.

The commission advised Ekweremadu not to lose sleep over such reports if he had nothing to hide.

The anti-graft agency said it did not need any dubious means to arrest Ekweremadu since he had no immunity.

Although the EFCC did not state if it was investigating Ekweremadu or not, it said such allegations would not its operatives from doing their job.

The statement read in part, “It must be emphatically stated for the benefit of Senator Ekweremadu and others who share similar misconception and jaundiced views of the EFCC, that the commission does not need any grand plot to arrest and prosecute him if he is found to have violated any law that EFCC enforces.
