Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria has asked the Department of State Services (DSS) to speed up the investigation into the cases involving the suspended Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa and the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele.
The duo were suspended from their respective offices by President Bola Tinubu’s administration in the second week of June over corruption allegations and abuse of office.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television, Falana urged the DSS to arraign them in court if it had an evidence of indictment.
He argued that the continued detention of Emefiele and Bawa did not reflect the implementation of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act.
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria urged the Nigerian government to handle the cases in line with the provisions of the law to avoid a situation whereby loopholes are exploited.
He said investigations should be speedily conducted without delay.
