“It is in the nature of the EFCC to reel out incredible large number of charges. That was how they charged Femi Fani Kayode with some hideous charges only for it to drop to 2-count of N2million, which yet they could not prove. We are confident that this will be no different.”
The group called for the sack of Mr. Ibrahim Larmode, chairman of the EFCC alleging he was politically compromised and cannot be a judge in the matter of pension probe as he was part of the Pension Reform Task Team where he collected estacode for biometric trip he did not make as well as for meetings he failed to attend.

Larmode cannot be a prosecutor and judge in this matter given that he collected estacode as a member of the biometric team to go abroad which he did not go, money for meetings he failed to attend.
