The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has frown on the comments made by former Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission, Chidi Odinkalu on the arrest of Idris Okuneye(a.k.a Bobrisky)
Odinkalu a legal activist had said after Bobrisky arrest for abuse of Naira notes that Bobrisky is not cause of poverty in the land and that ‘EFCC should be ashamed of themselves.”
He also stated in Instagram “@OfficialEFCC orchestrates a Lynching of @Bobrisky Ppl who can no longer afford electricity are hailing them because, apparently Bobby is responsible for their poverty.” He also said “
EFCC said in Statement by it’s spokeswoman Dele Oyewale that the agency “have been drawn to some reckless commentaries made by a former Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission, Chidi Odinkalu on the arrest of Idris Okuneye(a.k.a Bobrisky) by the Commission, describing it as evidence of idleness or an abuse of power.”
“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.
“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,” it said.
