by The appointment of Olukayode as EFCC Chairman by President Bola Tinubu is unlawful and illegal. It runs foul of the provisions of Section 2 of the EFCC ACT which requires that the person to be appointed as EFCC Chairman must amongst other things have
- Been a serving or retired member of any security or law enforcement agency,
- Must have 15 years cognate experience of law enforcement, and
- Must not be below the rank of assistant commissioner of police
Olukayode is a private legal practitioner and has never worked or belong to any security or law enforcement agency as a member
He does not have 15 years cognate experience as a law enforcement officer and
His private legal practice years cannot be equated to the rank in law enforcement. Not enough attending seminal courses as a private legal practitioner can equate to 15 years cognate experience contemplated by section 2 of the Act.
HE ONLY HAS A STINT AS CHIEF OF STAFF OF MAGU AND LATER BECAME A SECRETARY OF THE COMMISSION, ALL OF WHICH LAST FOR LESS THAN 6 YEARS.
