In a tweet on Monday, April 10 morning Onochie quoted Emeka Ngige, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and prosecutor with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), as saying the anti-corruption agency is doing quite well with its cases.

ZENITHBLOG.com recalls that former President Olusegun Obasanjo, on Sunday, April 9, revealed why the EFCC was losing some of its cases.

Obasanjo said that the EFCC was losing cases due to its failure to engage what he called “staunch ogbologbo lawyer,” stressing that most of the lawyers employed were outsiders.

The ex-president made the remark in response to a charge by President Muhammadu Buhari to the anti-graft agency to stop losing cases.
