EFCC detains 10 officers over alleged theft
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has detained 10 officers from its Lagos Zonal Command over the alleged theft of missing operational items.
This is coming few days after the Agency dismissed 27 officers over alleged misconduct.
Spokesperson for EFCC, Dele Oyewale, in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja, stated that the development was part of ongoing efforts by EFCC Chairman, Mr Ola Olukoyede, to rid the commission of corrupt practices.
He explained that the officers were arrested last week following directives from the EFCC boss.
“The affected officers are being questioned regarding the theft of operational items they could not account for.
“Investigators are making good progress, and those found guilty will face internal disciplinary processes,” he said.
