OBASANJO LIBRARY THREATENS EFCC WITH COURT ACTION, DESCRIBES NIGHT RAID AS 'DISRESPECTFUL'-
The management of Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library has condemned the invasion of its premises around 2 am on Sunday by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
The stringent operation reportedly made a lot of people in a private gathering within the sprawling complex sustain injuries as they scampered for safety
The armed men, said to have been led by one Olapade, were said to have engaged in sporadic shooting and threatened to kill the people met on the premises.
The management of Obasanjo Library OPL in a statement by its Managing Director, Mr Vitalis Ortese, described this sting operation as a blatant disrespect to the people’s fundamental rights as well as the rights of the OOPL as a corporate citizen.
The management insisted that it was needless for the anti-graft agency to have behaved in such a primitive way. The management has therefore demanded an explanation for this night raid as well as a due apology to a lot of people whose rights were not only trampled upon but also sustained varying degrees of injuries during the alleged unlawful raid.
The management stated that it will not hesitate to seek legal redress and applicable sanctions against the anti-graft agency if it fails to tender its unreserved apology over this hurtful incident.
