Receiving an invitation from the EFCC, ICPC, or police is unsettling, and the first 24 hours often shape everything that follows. The two foundational rights are the right to legal representation and the right to silence; neither is suspended by an invitation letter.
Practical steps. Acknowledge the invitation through counsel. Attend with counsel, do not attend alone. Do not provide written statements without legal review. Where detained, fundamental rights enforcement under Chapter IV of the Constitution is available immediately.
What we do not recommend. Public statements. Engagement with intermediaries claiming influence. Document destruction. All three convert manageable matters into serious ones.
