Nigeria: Judicial arrests in anti-corruption investigation rock legal community
- the Special Fraud Unit of the Nigerian Police Force;
- the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) (its name was changed to the Anti-corruption Commission in 2000, but it seems that the litigation that accompanied the legislation that made the change has led to a case of amnesia); or
- the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), whose functions include "the investigation of all financial crimes" and "the coordination and enforcement of all financial crimes laws and enforcement functions conferred on any other person or authority", thus making it the "senior" agency in this area of law enforcement.
