Former President, Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Dr Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), has lauded the President Muhammadu Buhari- led Federal Government for the establishment of the Proceeds of Crime Assets Recovery Agency, saying the coming into being of the new agency would make the anti-corruption strategy more effective in the country. Agbakoba gave this commendation on Thursday in a release issued and signed by him, copy of which was made available to newsmen in Lagos. “I congratulate the Federal Government and especially the Attorney- General of the Federation on the establishment of the proceeds of crime assets recovery Agency. “The EFCC performs three functions albeit related but unnecessary to concentrate in one Agency- Investigations, prosecution, and Assets recovery. “I fully support divesting EFCC from managing assets recovered from proceeds of crime and further divestment of their power to prosecute is necessary.
