Legal luminary, Olisa Agbakoba, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to dismantle anti graft agency, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in order to succeed in his fight against corruption.

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria made the call during an interview on ‘The Morning Show’ on Arise Television on Wednesday.

Agbakoba added that President Tinubu should relieve the EFCC Boss, Abdulrasheed Bawa, of his position as Chairman.

In his words, “ We need to talk about anti-corruption, the anti-corruption process is not working.

“I have challenged the constitutionality of EFCC, the EFCC needs to be dismantled, Mr Bawa needs to go. What he’s doing is not attracting peoples confidence. He’s ’s always in battle with everybody, now he’s battling Matawalle (Zamfara governor) that’s no way to fight corruption.

“ So we need to see Mr Bawa step aside honourably so that the anti-corruption process can be seen to be genuinely fought by the President and not any equivocation.”

The EFCC chairman and Matawalle had traded words over corruption allegations.

It would be recalled that Bawa had earlier, in an interview with the BBC Hausa Service, challenged Matawalle to expose him if he has any fraud record against him.

Agbakoba alleged that EFCC is a corrupt entity that needs to be cleansed holistically.
