EFCC denies claim that Obasanjo's controversial letter facilitated Babachir's arrest

The  Economic and Financial Crimes rejected the reports sent by former controversial correspondent Presient Olusegun Obasanjo to President Buhari, who is in charge of his government, managing former SGF Federation Secretary, Babachir Lawal.    Obasanjo in his letter was accused by President Buhari of choosing to get rid of corruption. He made reference to the case of Babachir who was indicted in an N200 million IDP fraud scheme that was dismissed but not arrested. The EFCC arrest period at the former SGF aroused the speculation of some Nigerians that the government was trying to turn the attention of Mr. Obasanjo's statement or blame the former leader. The reaction to the speculation, the spokesperson of the antigraft agency, Samin Amaddin, in an interview with NAN, said that the letter of the former president has nothing to do with the arrest of the former SGF.

When we are doing investigation, we don’t have a fixed time. Those speculating should have realised that several contractors are involved in this matter, and they were all invited, even banks. We have been working on this case since May 2017, so it is not a thing that just cropped up. We are neither a political party nor politicians. We don’t have any relationship with what they are talking about. We are just doing our work. If the detention coincides with the letter, that is a different thing. Why are those talking not linking other people we have been inviting with Obasanjo’s letter?’’
