Omisore: EFCC’s claims ridiculous, a deliberate design to taint my personality

The website of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) popped up with information credited to the EFCC that Senator Iyiola Omisore, a distinguished former Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and a former Deputy Governor of Osun State has been declared wanted.
The statement credited to the EFCC is in all its ramification ridiculous, ludicrous and unwarranted. It is a deliberate design to taint the personality of the distinguished Senator with calculated lies arising from deliberately concocted and carefully disseminated but embarrassingly glaring falsehood.
It is a notorious fact that following the threat of arrest and indefinite detention of the distinguished Senator, he approached the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja in suit no. FCT/HC/CV/145/16 for the enforcement of his fundamental right to liberty and human dignity sequel to which the Honourable Court granted orders of injunction in his favour to prevent the planned threats of the EFCC.
It remains an indisputable fact that the civil transaction in issue involving the office of the National Security Adviser has absolutely nothing to do with the distinguished Senator; rather, Fimex & Gilt Nig. Ltd.
The Company involved has owned up and instituted a civil suit against the EFCC and the ONSA for the balance of its payment. One, therefore, wonders the desperate zeal of the EFCC to persecute the Senator.
This entire situation becomes most ridiculous against the background of the fact that the EFCC has filed a Counter-Affidavit as well as a preliminary objection in the suit instituted by the Senator which is pending before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory. The suit was fully reported in The Nation Newspapers.
One, therefore, wonders how the distinguished Senator can be declared wanted when it is known to the EFCC that he is in Court against them and the matter is subjudice. As a matter of indisputable fact, the suit came up today, 24th May, 2016 and BOTH THE COUNSEL TO SENATOR OMISORE AND COUNSEL TO EFCC were present before the Court and the matter was given a short adjournment.
That the EFCC can descend to the level of blatant blackmail, deceit and falsehood is bewildering. As a responsible organisation and having submitted to the jurisdiction of the Court, one would reasonably have expected the EFCC to respect the Honourable Court by not seeking to overreach the Court and bring it to ridicule on a matter which is not only subjudice but in which an interim injunction has been issued restraining it from harassing, arresting or detaining the Senator.
We appeal to the EFCC to recognize the sanctity of the rule of law and our Courts. The lawyers to the distinguished Senator will, however, take appropriate steps to ensure that the Constitution of the Federal Republic is not treated with contempt by any one organisation and its fundamental right to freedom of movement is protected.
