Effiong argued that the EFCC Establishment Act did not give the President supervisory authority over the commission’s investigative and enforcement functions. He asked, “If the President is now giving directives in respect of the Osun matter, how many other cases has he given such directives that the public does not know about? Onoh argued that the Osun State Government should have been given an opportunity to present its case before the restriction was imposed. “The Osun State Government should have been invited to court and granted a fair hearing.”
