House Of Reps Set To Send Faridah Waziri Packing

The odds seem to continually be going against the current Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mrs. Faridah Waziri as she looks forward to a renewal of her term of office later this year.

If an amendment bill to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) establishment act is eventually passed, the Chair, Faridah Waziri might as well be out of her way out of office. The bill sponsored by Hon.

Bassey Ewa (PDP Cross River) seeks to make it compulsory for the Chairman of the EFCC to be a serving or retired Justice of the Supreme Court or the Court of Appeal.

The bill has already been passed for second reading and if it eventually scales through and the Senate concurs, it means Mrs. Waziri automatically becomes unqualified and her term will not be subject to renewal.

Though Mrs. Waziri claimed to have retired as an Assistant Inspector General of Police, it was found out that she only acted as an AIG before her retirement and her substantive rank on retirement was that of a Commissioner of Police.
