EFCC Interrogates Two Kogi Govt Officials
Officials of Kogi State are currently in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Disclosing this in a statement on Monday, Kingsley Fanwo, Kogi commissioner of information, opined that the reason for their invitation was not disclosed, adding that it may not be unconnected with ongoing investigations of present and past officials.
His words: “The Kogi State Government can confirm that two of her officials are currently at the EFCC Headquarters in Abuja to honour the invitation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
“We have not been told the specific details about their invitation, but it may not be unconnected to the ongoing investigations regarding some present and former Government officials.
“We hope that the EFCC will respond to the patriotic action of the officials by remaining professional in conducting their investigations.
“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.”
