Two Kogi Govt Officials Report To EFCC Over Alleged ₦‎80b Fraud

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Abuja has placed two senior officials from the Kogi State Government, under investigation over allegations of ₦‎80 Billion Fraud.

Kingsley Fanwo, the Commissioner for Information of the state, revealed that the officials voluntarily presented themselves to the EFCC, despite not having received a formal summons from the anti-corruption agency.

Fanwo highlighted that this voluntary action demonstrates the Kogi State Government’s commitment to transparency. “Despite not receiving an official invitation, they decided to voluntarily report at the headquarters of the commission in Abuja,” Fanwo stated.

The specific allegations against the officials remain undisclosed, but Fanwo suggested they might be linked to ongoing investigations involving current and former government officials.

By proactively reporting to the EFCC, the officials aim to show that the Kogi State Government has nothing to hide and is open to lawful investigations. Fanwo expressed hope that the EFCC will conduct its investigations professionally, in response to this patriotic gesture.

“As a Government, we are always prepared to cooperate with anti-graft agencies to prove our transparency and retain the confidence of our development partners who have consistently given us awards in recognition of our unflinching transparency, accountability, and probity,” Fanwo added.
