….for his reckless commentaries on EFCC
The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC), has threatened to deal with former Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission, Chidi Odinkalu over his comments on the arrest and prosecution of Idris Okuneye (a.k.a Bobrisky).
The spokesman for the Commission, Dele Oyewale in a statement issued on Friday said that the attention of the EFCC has been drawn to some reckless commentaries made by Odinkalu on the arrest of Bobrisky by the Commission, describing it as evidence of idleness or an abuse of power.
The statement said: “The Commission would not hesitate to take appropriate legal actions against such uncouth commentaries against its lawful mandate by anyone.
“Odinkalu is warned and advised to ventilate his rascally opinions more responsibly in future situations.
“The Commission views such commentaries from Odinkalu as unbecoming of a former head of a major government agency.
“Okuneye was arrested and arraigned by the Commission on the basis of clear cases of abuse of the Naira to which he has pleaded guilty.
“Odinkalu has a right to free speech as a Nigerian but such a right should be exercised with decorum and responsibility.
