Why EFCC can’t successfully prosecute ex-govs, by Sagay

Sagay
The long delay in the prosecution of these former governors accused of corruption is certainly not the fault of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). 

That aspect is a conspiracy between the Senior Advocates who are representing these suspects and the courts before which the cases are being prosecuted. 
In fact, the Senior Advocates now have a specialisation of criminal defence in that area. 
The idea is to meet every charge with a preliminary objection against jurisdiction. The Senior Advocates who defend them bring obstacles to the case instead of defending them.
They introduce different obstacles by bringing in frivolous preliminary objections which they now followed tenaciously even up to the Supreme Court without going to the substance of the case and the judges allow them to do it. 
So, the judges too are colluding with them by allowing them to do it because a judge needs not allow them to do that.
