The management of Benac Hotels and Suites Umuahia, Abia State has expressed disgust over the marking of its business premises by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
The hotel described as unwarranted, brazen, unlawful and unconstitutional the decision of the anti graft agency to mark ‘sealing and distainings’ on its wall without justification.
In a release on Sunday, the hotel observed that this singular act of the EFCC has breached the property rights of the Board/Management of Benac Hotels and also damaged the business reputation of the Company.
“Arising from the above, the Company therefore hereby demand that the EFCC do, without any further delay, remove and unseal the Company’s premises within 48 hrs.
“Wherefore the EFCC fails or neglects to unseal the company’s premises as demanded, the company’s solicitors, who have already been given peremptory instructions in this regard, will be left with no other option than to commence legal proceedings against the EFCC ,to avail the company of its remedies at law; and this shall be without further notice to the Commission” it said.
Earlier in the week, Coalition of South East Youth Leaders COSEYL had condemned the brazen sealing of business premises Igbo men in Abia and entire South East.
The group alleged that people of the region is being singed out for intimidation by the EFCC, warning that this should be put to halt.
