EFCC Takes a Stand: 27 Corrupt Officers Dismissed in Major Clean-Up Effort

Major Shake-Up at EFCC: 27 Officers Fired for Corruption

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has dismissed 27 officers in 2024 for fraudulent activities and misconduct. This action underscores the EFCC’s commitment to maintaining integrity within its ranks.

EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, emphasized the commission’s zero-tolerance policy for corruption, stating that no officer is immune to disciplinary measures.

He assured the public that all allegations against EFCC staff would be thoroughly investigated, including a trending $400,000 claim against a Sectional Head by a supposed EFCC staff member. Olukoyede reiterated that the core values of the commission are sacrosanct and will always be upheld.

The EFCC also warned the public about impersonators and blackmailers exploiting the name of its Executive Chairman to extort money from high-profile suspects under investigation.

Two members of an alleged syndicate, Ojobo Joshua and Aliyu Hashim, were recently arraigned before Justice Jude Onwuebuzie of the Federal Capital Territory High Court, Abuja, for allegedly contacting a former Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority, Mr. Mohammed Bello-Koko, and demanding $1 million to secure a “soft landing” on a non-existent investigation. The commission noted that similar criminal elements are still at large and urged the public to report such individuals.
