Senior Lawyers has expressed different views over last week’s calls by the President of Nigeria Bar Association( NBA) Mr. Abubakar Mahmoud, SAN, that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, be stripped of prosecutorial powers. The NBA president in a Channels Television’s programme, Sunrise Daily, reiterated his earlier call that the anti-graft agency should lose its powers of prosecution. Prof. Joseph Abugu, opined that EFCC should retain prosecutorial powers over only serious economic crimes “My first concern is the object of stripping the EFCC of prosecutorial powers. Will that result in more prosecutions or expedite delivery of justice? I think not. ‘’Prosecutorial agencies, including the Police, ICPC, Ministry of Justice, and the EFCC, need more skilled prosecutors, well remunerated advocates, a court system populated by knowledgeable judges and more facilitative procedural rules to hasten delivery of judgments,” he said.
