Anyone who has been invited by the EFCC is urged to put away any obstruction and answer their invitation.
The AGF noted that a situation where public officials who are subject of protection by law enforcement agents set up a stratagem of obstruction to the civil and commendable efforts of the EFCC to perform its duty is worrisome.
