President Muhammadu Buhari has suspended over 10 senior
officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, according to
PM News.
PM News quoted a presidency source on Tuesday night as
saying that the Commission’s executive Secretary Olanipekun Olukoyede was among
the senior officials suspended by President Buhari.
“They were suspended for various alleged criminal and
corrupt infractions,” the source said.
They were suspended to allow for unfettered investigation of
the various corruption allegations rocking the anti-graft commission.
The source added that “All the top officials in the agency
have been suspended, their offices locked, to prevent any tampering with files
at the commission.”
Ibrahim Magu, who acted as the EFCC Chairman, was suspended
by President Buhari last week and the director of operations, Mohammed Umar
Abba, was asked to replace him.
The newspaper’s source said that the new acting Chairman
survived suspension, because he was found not to be a part of the suspected
underhand dealings in the agency.
