How some corrupt governors, other politicians plan to flee Nigeria -EFCC
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has alerted the general public of the alleged move by some governors and other politicians accused of corruption to flee the country ahead of the May 29 handover.
The alarm ,which is contained in a statement on Friday night by EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren said the anti-graft agency is currently collaborating with its international partners to ensure that the plans are frustrated.
The commission vowed that all political actors involved in corruption while in public office must be brought to justice.
The statement reads partly, “Again, the Commission wishes to alert the public about plans by some of the alleged corrupt politically exposed persons to flee the country ahead of May 29.
“The Commission is working in close collaboration with its international partners to frustrate these escape plans and bring those involved to justice.”
Recall that last November, EFCC said that some serving state governors are under monitoring over moves to launder cash through table payment of salaries to workers.
The EFCC chairman Abdulrasheed Bawa who did not give the identities of these governors, said two of them were from the North, while the third one was from the southern part of the country.
He said intelligence at the agency’s disposal revealed that the three governors had concluded plans to inject the money into the system through table payment of their state workers’ salaries.
