5 high profile figures interrogated by EFCC since Buhari's inauguration
Since May 29, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has seemingly awoken from the slumber of the past few years.
Immediately President Muhammadu Buhari was sworn in, the anti-graft agency got to work, and began to look into cases of corruption, by inviting suspected persons for interrogation.
Ever since, several persons have been invited for questioning, but so far, only a few have been charged to court by the EFCC.
1. Toyin Saraki
On Tuesday, July 28, wife of the Senate President, Toyin Saraki, honoured the invitation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission's office. EFCC invited Mrs Saraki to answer questions about contracts carried out in Kwara State when her husband, Senator Bukola Saraki, was Governor from 2003 to 2011.
2. NAFDAC boss, Paul Orhii
Director-General of the National Agency for Food, Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Paul Orhi, was summoned for questioning by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over allegations concerning abuse of office. Orhi was questioned by the detectives for allegedly awarding huge contracts to companies in which he has interests.
3. Al-Hassan Yakmut
The Director General of the National Sports Commission Al-Hassan Yakmut was invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) ON Thursday, July 23, on the allegations of misappropriation of public funds.
