The Nigerian Civil Society, as advocates of human rights, notes the swift and decisive action taken by the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr. Ola Olukoyede, in ordering the immediate arrest and investigation of the errant operatives involved in the appalling incident at Regional Hotel, Lagos. This bold move demonstrates the height of discipline and professionalism, and we commend the Chairman for his unwavering commitment to upholding the highest standards of conduct within the EFCC.
We look forward to the EFCC discharging its responsibilities with utmost respect for human rights, believing that this incident will serve as a deterrent to any would-be offenders.
Indeed, the Chairman’s prompt action has sent a clear message and reassured us as Watch dog of the society that the EFCC will not tolerate any form of brutality or excessive force, and we urge him to continue to lead by example in ensuring that the rights of all individuals are protected and respected in the pursuit of justice.
