In this exciting episode of the Mic on Podcast, the host Seun Okinbaloye had a chat with Prof. Chidi Odinkalu, Human Rights Lawyer/Fmr. Chairman National Human Rights Commission.
Prof. Odinkalu discredits the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over the issue between the commission and popular crossdresser Okuneye Idris Olarenwaju aka Bobrisky and his naira abuse trial. “The only thing that the EFCC can find itself to do is to go after a cross dresser quite evidently because some people don’t like the idea of a man being a crossdresser."
He also analysed the issue of state police and the possibility of its functioning in Nigeria. Prof. Odinkalu bared his mind “State policing is about taking policing to the frontlines where it is needed and finding ways to decentralize that and give operational decision-making and budgetary de-concentration to the point of need. In the kind of country we have at the moment, I think any talk of a state police is irresponsible actually.
Responding to the prosecution of former Central Bank governor Godwin Emefiele Prof. Odinkalu airs his views. “So Emefiele is being prosecuted and I believe he should be prosecuted. But what about Buhari and his responsibility? Emefiele could not have turned up the CBN Act without Buhari saying so. The CBN Act is very clear. You cannot run up ways and means beyond the 5% threshold relative to the previous year’s budget." He says
