This followed an application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC, in the N1.4bn fraud charges against the President of the Nigerian Bar Association , Mr. Paul Usoro .
”These offences were allegedly committed by Mr. Paul Usoro between 2015 and 2016, ostensibly, before he became the president of Nigerian lawyers’ association in 2018. “Also, one of the accomplices to the diverse crime is Emmanuel Udom, Governor of Akwa Ibom State, whom the EFCC acknowledged is currently constitutionally immune to criminal prosecution. Paul Usoro was allegedly paid with Awka Ibom State’s funds for legal services he rendered in his personal capacity to Udom, who was then a governorship candidate, a practice that is clearly in breach of constitutional provisions.
“Another discernible fact is the moral breakdown that is prevalent in the country due to effervescent corruption amongst government officials and ordinary Nigerians.
