Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council has said that the the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, should be hiding in shame after its move to surreptitiously secure the forfieture of assets belonging to Senator Ike Ekweremadu were vacated by the court on account of fraudulent procedures.
It could be recalled that Justice Inyang Ekwo had while vacating the order, said the Court discovered that the interim forfeiture order was fraudulently obtained by the EFCC.
Reacting, the National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike said the EFCC should hide its face in shame.
He said the latest order of the court was a vindication of its earlier stand that the EFCC was carrying out a vendetta on Ekweremadu merely because he is an Igbo man.
How else can one explain a situation where the same EFCC that wrote the United Kingdom Court against the release of Ekweremadu, sneaked into a Federal High Court in Nigeria and asked the lawmaker to show why his properties should not be forfeited.
“It was the height of wickedness and rascality by an agency of government.
“This is why we commend the Judge for toeing the path of justice. The judgement has put to rest the hatchet job done by the EFCC against Ekweremadu whose only sin is the fact that he is an Igbo man,” he said.
