EFCC Dismisses 27 Officers For Fraudulent Activities, Gross Misconduct

In its quest to enforce integrity and rid its fold of fraudulent elements, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC dismissed twenty seven officers from its workforce in 2024.

The information contained in a Statement signed by the Commission’s Spokesperson, Dele Oyewale explained that the Officers were dismissed for various offences bordering on fraudulent activities and misconduct and their dismissal followed the recommendation of the Staff Disciplinary Committee of the EFCC, and ratified by its Chairman, Ola Olukoyede.

The Statement says Olukoyede reiterates the commitment of the Commission to zero tolerance for corruption, warning that no Officer is immune to disciplinary measures and every modicum of allegation against any staff of the Commission would always be investigated, including a trending $400,000 claim of a yet-to-be-identified supposed staff of the EFCC against a Sectional Head.

Olukoyede stresses that the core values of the Commission are sacrosanct and would always be held in optimal regard at all times.

While the EFCC advises the public to report any activity of impersonators and blackmailers using the name of its Boss to extort money from high-profile suspects under investigation, it stresses that Olukoyede remains a man of integrity that cannot be swayed by monetary influences.
