The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Caucus in the Senate has faulted the move by the anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) to investigate the finances of the main opposition party.
The action of the EFCC was sequel to a petition of alleged financial sleaze against certain national officers of the Prince Uche Secondus-led National Working Committee.
The caucus in a statement signed by Uche Awom, Media Adviser to Minority leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe accused the anti-corruption agency of usurping the statutory functions of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) whose functions include the monitoring of finances of political parties.

FORTY-eight hours after the attack on the Owerri Custodial Centre by gunmen suspected to be members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, no fewer than 48 escaped inmates have been apprehended, increasing the number of inmates in custody to 84.
Among the escapees, 11 were recaptured by men of the 211 Nigerian Air Force Base, Owerri, while others either came back on their own volition or were returned by their relations, traditional rulers and religious leaders.
Six escaped inmates had earlier returned to the facility while 35 others did not escape during the attack on Monday.
