Two Employees are Fired by the EFCC for Alleged Corruption.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has terminated the employment of two staff members due to allegations of corruption. According to news reports, the Commission’s Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, made this announcement during the opening of the 6th Annual Criminal Law Review Conference, which was organized by the Rule of Law Development Foundation in Abuja. Olukoyede indicated that the dismissals took place two weeks ago and stressed that any employees found to have breached the law will not only be dismissed but will also face legal action in the future. “There are numerous reforms underway, particularly concerning our personnel and related matters. “Just two weeks ago, I initiated the dismissal of two employees. One cannot combat corruption while being complicit. Those who seek justice must ensure their own hands are clean. “I will not only dismiss these individuals but will also pursue prosecution, as we do with others. “You will observe that we are in the process of preparing case files for some of those we have dismissed,” he remarked. The EFCC Chairman noted that he had undergone a two-year investigation during his time as the EFCC secretary, highlighting the importance of integrity for survival, especially among legal practitioners. He also pointed out that he has issued a standing order that no prosecution should involve more than a 15-count charge.
