Supreme Court: EFCC empowered to investigate governors for corruption – Olukoyede

The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, said on Thursday the Supreme Court’s judgment has put the commission in a stronger position to tackle all forms of corruption in the country.

Olukoyede, according to a statement issued by the EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, stated this when a delegation of the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance led by its Regional Director for Africa and West Asia, Dr. Roba Sharamo visited him at the commission’s office in Abuja.

The EFCC chairman said after the Supreme Court ruling, he told the anti-graft agency’s operatives they could now investigate serving governors but couldn’t prosecute them.
