The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has bowed to calls for investigations after some operatives of the agency allegedly attacked some medical workers at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital in Akwa Ibom State.
The incident, which happened on Tuesday, triggered outrage as many Nigerians accused the agency of highhandedness.
Also, senior lawyers and civil society organisations, who spoke to Saturday PUNCH, called for reforms in the anti-graft agency’s operations.
The commission has faced increasing criticism following a string of controversial raids on homes, hotels, hostels and institutions during operations targeting suspects linked to financial crimes, especially Internet fraud.
