The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has alleged that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission “risks becoming a tool for political witch-hunts” in Nigeria rather than a neutral, evidence-driven anti-graft body in the fight against corruption.
Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, National Coordinator of HURIWA, cautioned the EFCC in a statement on May 11, 2025, while condemning what it termed the latest allegations leveled against the Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Mohammed Matawalle.
He described the petition as an alleged politically motivated campaign against him.
