Corruption: EFCC vows to pursue outgoing governors and public officials

In an interview, EFCC Chairman Abdulrasheed Bawa disclosed that “God willing, come May and June, we are going to make some huge arrests and commence huge prosecutions of people.”

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared its intention to investigate and arrest outgoing governors and public officials involved in corrupt practices after May 29, 2023, when they hand over power.

Bawa also noted that public officials who are not leaving office this year would still be held accountable for their actions whenever they leave. “Whenever they are leaving, we will be waiting for them to ensure that justice is done,” he added.
