Mohammed Adamu the
inspector general of police, has recalled some of the officers who were
attached to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
About 20 zonal and sectional heads
were affected by the recall.
They have been asked to report to
force headquarters in Abuja, from where they are expected to be given new
assignments.
Although some of the officers
have spent a number of years at the EFCC, TheCable understands that the police
hierarchy wants to rid the agency of those suspected to have close ties to
Ibrahim Magu, the suspended acting chairman.
Adamu had ordered the withdrawal
of policemen attached to Magu shortly
after the probe into the EFCC began.
Also, 12 directors at the
commission have been suspended indefinitely.
Some of them had handled the
investigation of corruption allegations against Abubakar Malami, the
attorney-general of the federation and minister of justice, who is playing a
key role in the EFCC probe.
The commission’s secretary,
Olanipekun Olukoyede, is also on indefinite suspension.
Mohammed Umar, the director of
operations, now acts as the chairman.
