The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has dismissed 27 of its Staff for various offences bordering on fraudulent activities and misconduct.
A release issued this Monday, by EFCC spokesman, Dele Oyewale however, did not disclose the identity of the fired officers.
The release explained that their dismissal followed the recommendation of the Staff Disciplinary Committee of the Commission and the ratification by the Chairman, Ola Olukoyede.
According to the release, “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.
“The core values of the Commission are sacrosanct and would always be held in optimal regard at all times.”
The release further alerted the public to the sinister activities of impersonators and blackmailers using the name of its chairman to extort money from high-profile suspects.
