Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) under the aegis of Coalition for Good Governance and Change Initiative (CGGCI) have threatened to stage a mass protest against the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa, over alleged disobedience of court orders. The court had recently sent Bawa to Kuje prison for contempt of court.

Speaking at conference in Abuja yesterday, national coordinator of CSOs, Comrade Okpokwu Ogenyi, called on the Inspector General of Police and the Department of State Service (DSS) to wade in and compel the EFCC chairman to obey court orders.

Ogenyi also implored President Muhammadu Buhari to protect his legacies, especially in the area of rule of law as a democrat, by calling Bawa to order.

He said it is a sad moment in the history of Nigeria that those saddled with the responsibility of protecting the constitution of Nigeria are the ones abusing it.
His words, “As Nigerians, we believed that, the youths in leadership position should be more proactive, coordinated and humane in discharging their duties while protecting the integrity and image of President Muhammadu Buhari, especially in the areas of anti-corruption, human right and democratic governance.
“We, therefore call on the Inspector General of Police and the Department of State Service to wade in and compel the EFCC Chairman to obey court orders before he finally collapsed the image and integrity of the Buhari’s administration.
“At this eve of transition, we are ready to protect Mr President’s image and preserve his legacy. We call on President Muhammadu Buhari to call Mr Bawa to order by not allowing him to live above the constitution, but to obey it.
