Sagay Hits Saraki

Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption has fired at Senator Bukola Saraki for saying that the anti-graft agencies, EFCC and ICPC were involved in more of showmanship than investigation.

“The main problem was that high-profile individuals had amassed satanic sums of money which could pervert the course of justice. My reaction to that is that in every endeavour being mounted against very powerful people, who have accumulated enough money, even more than the states, it is always going to be very tough. So, we will lose some (cases), learn from that and then improve.”

“So, it is not showmanship. It is a tough struggle against the dark satanic forces that have run down the country’s economy and they are very powerful; so, it is a very tough struggle and we will carry on and we will get better and better with time. Following the advice of his committee, anti-graft agencies had begun to change their strategies which would yield positive results soon.”

“We are teaching them not to have a sole investigator but a team who will work with the prosecutors so that the prosecutors can advise the investigator exactly what to look out for in terms of the ingredients constituting the offence; so, he doesn’t just go on a wild goose chase and bring irrelevant evidence.”
