EFCC arrests two council chiefs in Kwara
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) said on Monday that its officials in Kwara State arrested two
local government chairmen for alleged financial misconduct.
According to the agency’s spokesperson, Femi
Babafemi, the arrested chairmen were Tajudeen Bada of Irepodun and
James Olaniyi of Oke-Ero Local Government Areas.
Mr Babafemi said that some other persons in the
state, who were linked to the alleged misconduct, had fled Nigeria. He
said that the commission was committed to fighting corruption in our
country, in spite of what he described as “unpleasant statements from
some Nigerians”, adding that the EFCC would not be intimidated by what
it called the “level of propaganda”.
He added that the commission had a legitimate duty to investigate
and prosecute all forms of economic and financial crimes in all parts
of the federation.
