The Zonal Director of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ilorin Zonal Directorate, Victoria Ugo-Ali, has paid a courtesy visit to the Commissioner of Police, Kwara State Command, Adekimi Ojo, to reinforce inter-agency cooperation in the fight against corruption and financial crimes.

The visit, which took place at the command headquarters in Ilorin, was aimed at familiarising the new zonal director with the police leadership in the state and strengthening existing collaboration between the two law enforcement agencies.

Speaking during the meeting, Ugo-Ali described the Nigeria Police Force as a critical stakeholder and strategic partner in the anti-corruption drive.

She noted that the success of the EFCC in tackling economic and financial crimes largely depends on the support and synergy of the police, whom she referred to as the foundation of law enforcement operations in the country.

The zonal director highlighted key operational areas where enhanced cooperation would be required, particularly in intelligence sharing, joint investigations and enforcement activities, stressing that stronger collaboration would boost the effectiveness of both agencies.

Responding, the Commissioner of Police, Adekimi Ojo, expressed appreciation for the visit and commended the EFCC for its sustained efforts in combating corruption and financial crimes.

He assured the zonal director of the command's continued support, noting that the police remain committed to working closely with the commission to achieve their shared mandate.
