The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has called for an urgent review of the laws guiding the prosecution of criminal cases in the country.

Chairman of the Commission, OLA OLUKOYEDE, disclosed at the official launch of the practice direction on remand proceedings, guidelines and monitoring framework for the implementation of remand proceedings in Abuja.

The anti-graft agency decried that despite revolutionary provisions that are contained in the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, of 2015, those on trial, have continued to deploy ways and means of circumventing the provisions of the law.

The EFCC further noted that some sections in the criminal law had since been struck down by the superior courts.
