The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) has said it is still probing former governor of Enugu State,
Sullivan Chime, and Rita Mbah, Secretary of the 2015 People's Democratic Party
(PDP) campaign in the state.
South East Zonal Head of
Operations of the commission, Johnson Babalola, disclosed this in Enugu while
briefing the press on the activities of the commission.
He also explained that the claims
by former governor Chime after he decamped to APC that he had no case with EFCC
was false and unfounded.
According to him, the commission
has recovered N60m out of the N450m of the 2015 PDP campaign fund from the
state.
He said, “Don’t listen to what
politicians tell you. Chime and Rita Mbah are suspects and under investigation
of the EFCC.
“We are doing our job
professionally irrespective of whatever political party anyone of them belongs.
Crime has no expiry date. Those money remaining with the two suspects over the
2015 campaign fund will be recovered.
“We have not recovered all the
money yet but we are doing that on monthly basis.”
Babalola added that the
commission was also investigating abandoned road projects and Independent Power
Projects in the South East with the aim of prosecuting defaulting contractors.
“South East has the most
deplorable roads network in the country, projects running into billions of
naira abandoned are under investigation by the commission.
“Any contractor found wanting of
abandonment would be charged to court,” he said.
