These are not the best of times for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa.

Coalition for Change and Integrity (CCI) has called for his arrest and detention.

The group, in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Comrade Tajudeen Adeyemi said:

“Another chance has been presented to IGP Usman Alkali Baba to prove that he is a thoroughbred officer of the law, one that does not have the tradition of disobeying court orders.”

“Failure to carry out the order of the court to arrest and take Mr. Bawa to Kuje custodial centre will in itself amount to contempt of court, which would haunt IGP Baba in his career and after he exits service.”

“We call on the Inspector General of Police to immediately take the EFCC Chairman to prison as no lawful order of court should be disobeyed by constituted authority like the Police.”

For those who don’t know, a Kogi State High Court presided over by Justice R.O. Ayoola recently, directed the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, to effect Bawa’s arrest.
