Human Rights activist and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, yesterday pointed out that majority of Nigerian lawyers are people of integrity and are willing to work with EFCC in its fight against corrupt individuals.
He however, said he and his colleagues are embarrassed when senior lawyers connive with judges in order to pervert course of justice.
He assured the EFCC Chairman that majority of the Nigerian lawyers are solidly behind the Commission, should anybody/group decide to harass or intimidate the Commission.
Mean while, the EFCC boss also disclosed that aside from the widely publicized case against Rickey Tarfa SAN, the Commission has taken several lawyers to court adding that some of them have even been convicted.
"We have been quietly investigating, many senior lawyers across the country in relation to some to the proceeds of certain heinous crimes against Nigerian people. When we reach a comfortable stage in our investigation, we would take them to court and make the outcome of our enquiries known to the Nigerian people," he stated.
