EFCC may gain power to prosecute military officers as Senate committee moves to amend act

In a bold move to strengthen the fight against corruption, the Senate Committee on Anti-Corruption and Financial Crimes has vowed to amend the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Act.

This amendment aims to empower the EFCC to investigate and prosecute military officers implicated in corruption and financial crimes.

Emmanuel Udende, chairman of the committee, emphasized the need for legislative action during an oversight visit to the EFCC headquarters in Abuja, on Monday.
