The Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) has called on the ex-minister of Justice, Mohammed Adoke, to make himself available for trial.
The called was made by the EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren while reacting to a claim made by the former Attorney General, Mohammed Adoke.
Adoke in his book titled: “Burden of Service: Reminiscences of Nigeria’s former Attorney General”, said that the Chairman of EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, Vice President, Yemi Osibanjo and the former Majority Leader of the senate, Senator Ali Ndume were after him to tarnish his hard earned reputation.
In reaction to the allegation, EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja asked Adoke to make himself available for trial instead of playing games.
He said “The acting Chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, categorically states that at no time did the Vice President discuss, counsel or direct him in any way on any issue concerning Adoke. It is wicked and evil to make such a false allegation against anybody, especially when it is based on hearsay.
“A prima facie case, bordering on official corruption was established by the Commission following investigations; culminating in court charges against Adoke, Dan Etete and others, which is still pending before the Federal Capital Territory High Court and Federal High Court.
“The arraignment of Adoke, Etete and others could not take place because they, along with other defendants, have remained at large, refusing to make themselves available for trial”
“Having now satisfied his long desire to titillate the public with some tales by moonlight in the mould of semi author-biography, Adoke should now make himself available for trial.” (Daily Post)
