The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) declared on Thursday that every individual, including former governors, with corruption allegations, will undergo investigation by the anti-graft agency.<\/p>\n
At a one-day EFCC Civil Society Organisations engagement in Sokoto, the commission’s zonal commander, ACE Aliyu Yunusa, emphasized that no one is exempt from investigation. The event aimed to strengthen collaboration with Civil Society Organisations from Kebbi, Zamfara, and Sokoto states in line with the commission’s preventive mandate.<\/p>\n
Yunusa assured that the EFCC is committed to rigorously pursuing economic and financial crime-related cases within the bounds of the law, regardless of the individuals involved. Speaking passionately in Sokoto, he reiterated the commission’s dedication to liberate Nigeria from the grip of corruption.<\/p>\n
“Our core mandate remains, and we are determined and resolute to achieve results with the active collaboration of Nigerians, particularly the CSOs who are equally drivers of our mandate to success,” Yunusa stated. “We rely on the Nigerian public and organised bodies to nip in the bud corruption and other economic crimes for a sound Nigeria.”<\/p>\n
Yunusa also took the opportunity to dispel the prevailing perception among Nigerians that the EFCC does not investigate former governors. He clarified, “No past governor or anyone is exempted from our investigation when a petition is received.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
