This development follows accusations by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) that the EFCC is engaging in selective investigations aimed at opposition figures.

In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC alleged that recent EFCC invitations to senior members of the opposition coalition were politically driven and tied to their affiliations.

The party further claimed that some of the cases being revived are not based on fresh evidence but involve reopening old files from previous years.
