The Head of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, Responds to Internal Corruption Allegations
"Olukoyede Disputes Reports of Corruption in EFCC: "We Are Flesh and Blood, Not Supernatural Entities"
When faced with accusations that the EFCC harbors corrupt officials, our source reveals numerous complaints about commission operatives enriching themselves at the expense of their duties.
However, Olukoyede, in an interview with Channels Television on April 30th, admits that, while no one in the EFCC is perfect, they strive to maintain a high standard of integrity. He acknowledged that officers guilty of misconduct have been referred to a disciplinary committee for review.
"Weird behavior," overzealousness, and other transgressions are natural human tendencies within the EFCC, according to Olukoyede. He guarantees to address any suspicious characters within the system, committing to taking action in accordance with regulations and the law.
Over the course of their purge, the EFCC has identified and eliminated approximately 27 individuals with questionable integrity from their ranks. The EFCC chairman promises to continue cracking down on any such misconduct and enforcing sanctions upon offenders.
While the EFCC under Olukoyede's leadership continues to target external entities for corruption, they also tackle systemic compliance issues across government agencies as key enablers of corruption. The specifics of the EFCC's internal disciplinary committee, its findings, or sanctions against officers remain undisclosed, suggesting either confidential processes or underreported matters.
For more information on EFCC's internal disciplinary framework, seeking details through official channels like EFCC Annual Reports or Freedom of Information requests may be necessary.
