I won’t be surprised if the EFCC can be dodging court summons declaring me wanted and evading service. I shall ask the court to compel them to unfreeze such account because I’m neither on trial nor found guilty.
“Rather than use legal means to ensure justice, it has instead resorted to media trial and falsehood, which wouldn’t prosper under any guise. I didn’t take money from the NSA. Why this political trial-prosecution, intimidation and humiliation?
“EFCC won’t stop at any height to blackmail opposition. My AIT programme has attracted another falsehood to harass me. Only a few days ago, I accused the EFCC of dodging court summons. I didn’t collect money from the
