AYOMIDE OWONIBI spoke with Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, who is a Lagos-based human rights lawyer, on the war against graft. Excerpts:
WHAT is your view on the anti-corruption war of President Muhammadu Buhari?
I believe that the so-called anti-corruption war was a hidden agenda deployed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to bury itself into the mind of Nigerians for the purpose of gathering votes. It was such that, because of the level of poverty that had prevailed in the country, they capitalised on the trust of Nigerians, promising to recover looted funds. But sadly, since the government was inaugurated in May 2015, the anti- corruption fight has been more of persecution targeted at the opposition [figures] and also critics of the ruling party. People have been arrested who have no relationship with any criminal matter at all, just for the purpose of intimidating them.
