The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has faced criticism after some of its officials were found involved in the theft of exhibits. Reports indicate that several officers were dismissed for misconduct and fraudulent activities. The agency is investigating cases of missing cash, gold bars, and other valuable items.
Thefts were reported at different zonal offices, with officers being detained for their involvement. The incidents have raised concerns about the security and accountability of the EFCC’s operations. It was revealed that the thefts could be attributed to factors like poverty and lax security measures.
Efforts are being made to address the situation, including conducting audits and implementing stricter protocols for handling recovered assets. The EFCC is working towards restoring public trust and integrity by rooting out corrupt practices within the organization. Calls have been made for reforms and better oversight to prevent future incidents and uphold the agency’s mandate in combating corruption.
