EFCC dismisses 27 officers for fraud, misconduct, but keeps their identities secret

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has dismissed 27 of its officers from service for fraud and other acts of misconduct.

A statement from the agency said on Monday that the purge followed the recommendation of the Staff Disciplinary Committee of the EFCC ratified by the chairperson of the commission, Ola Olukoyede.

However, the statement did not reveal the identities of the 27 affected officials and the cases against them, a repeat of similar announcement by Mr Olukoyede in November 2024 of the dismissal of two corrupt officials of the agency.
