House of Representatives Speaker Dimeji Bankole has faulted the manner of his invitation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Bankole, who has twice snubbed the anti-graft agency’s call, said the EFCC did not state the reasons for inviting him.
In the letter to EFCC Chairman Farida Waziri, entitled “Re: Investigation Activities Investigation Letter”, Bankole, who will round off his tenure today, accused the EFCC of engaging in “sensational prosecution and conviction on the pages of newspaper on an issue as grave as corruption.”
He said the anti-graft body did not communicate to him. But EFCC spokesman Femi Babafemi denied this. He said the EFCC had followed the normal procedure it uses to invite people under investigation.
For him to appear before the agency, Bankole urged the EFCC “to kindly request for such formally and provide information about any specific issues you are investigating to enable me prepare my response accordingly.”
”This is very necessary in view of the fact that the subject matter of your letter does not disclose anything other than “Investigation activities”.
