JUST IN: Bawa Speaks On ‘Corrupt’ Governors, Others EFCC Will Go For After May 29

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has concluded plans to go after some outgoing governors and other public officials after May 29.

EFCC Chairman Abdulrasheed Bawa, who revealed this yesterday at the commission’s headquarters in an exclusive interview with Daily Trust, specifically stated that more arrests would be made immediately after May 29.

Bawa, who hosted the management team of Media Group, publishers of the Daily Trust newspaper titles, Trust TV, and Trust Radio, did not name or specify the number of public officials who would face charges under the law.

Governors are among the public officials who have immunity and thus cannot be arrested or tried while in office.

Aside from those who will be picked at the end of this administration, Bawa revealed that at least two ministries are currently under the commission’s scrutiny for fraudulent activities involving procurement processes.

According to him, one of the ministries defrauded the government of N4 billion on approximately 20 contracts.

Bawa said, “Currently, we’re investigating two ministries where double payments were made. In one of the ministries, the double payments, cumulatively, were about 20 contracts of over N4bn.

“These were contracts that were done way back 2018, and then some group of people, so bold, came up with the same narration.

“They moved the documents from the file, forged them, and then of course in conspiracy of some civil servants, raised vouchers and pay. How can that happen if we have digitalised procurement processes.”
