Unnecessary EFCC and NAF confrontation - Group

The recent confrontation between the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Nigerian Air Force (NAF) personnel in Kaduna has been deemed unnecessary by the civil society organization Close Watch. 

The group, through its National Coordinator, Biodun Odele, stated that the issue could have been resolved without escalating into a public altercation. 

Odele stressed the importance of government institutions collaborating to address disputes. 

He expressed confidence that Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar, the Chief of the Air Staff, would not tolerate disorderly behavior from NAF personnel. 

While refraining from passing judgment, Odele suggested that the EFCC should have engaged the NAF leadership in Kaduna before taking public action, emphasizing the need for thorough investigation before resorting to such measures. 

The group urged government agencies to work harmoniously, particularly during the country's security challenges.
