Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, gave the umbrella body of lawyers, the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) an earful on Wednesday. The NBA leadership was on a courtesy visit to Magu’s office.
The EFCC boss lamented that some lawyers have become “vandals of the temple of justice”.
In a statement issued by EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, after the meeting, the EFCC chairman said “Society is not served when prominent members of the bar not only take clearly tainted briefs, but even facilitate the commission of crimes by knowingly supplying the technical know-how and later, helping in the dispersal of the proceeds of crime.
