EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede has announced that at least 40 staff members of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission have been dismissed for corruption and financial malpractice while he has been in charge. In a video shared on his X account, Olukoyede revealed that any asset exceeding a certain value must be declared and registered by EFCC employees.
He stated that the commission had created a Gift and Hospitality Policy to govern the acceptance of gifts, defining which were permissible and which were not. Over the past three years, more than five additional staff members are currently undergoing prosecution, with additional case files being prepared. Olukoyede emphasized that if he were to investigate and prosecute officials from other ministries and departments for the same offenses, he would not simply dismiss his own staff.
