Meanwhile, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has dismissed more than 40 of its personnel over alleged corruption and financial misconduct in the last two and a half years.

EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, disclosed this on Monday, August 31, 2027, in Abuja while speaking with media executives and journalists, Naija News reports.

According to him, more than five of the dismissed officers are currently facing prosecution, while case files involving other personnel are being prepared for legal action.

Olukoyede said the disciplinary measures were part of efforts by the commission to ensure that its personnel maintain the highest level of integrity while investigating and prosecuting corruption cases.

“In the past two and a half years or three years of my service, I have asked them to dismiss over 40 staff on account of corruption and financial malpractice.

“More than five of them are being prosecuted at the moment. You can follow those cases in court; they are public knowledge,” he said.

The EFCC boss maintained that officers of the commission cannot effectively fight corruption if they are themselves involved in corrupt practices.

He disclosed that the agency had also introduced measures aimed at strengthening accountability among its personnel.

One of such measures, he said, was a new gift policy designed to regulate the acceptance and declaration of gifts received by EFCC staff.

Olukoyede explained that personnel would be required to declare gifts above a specified value, including gifts received from relatives based abroad.

He said the commission would determine the categories and monetary value of gifts that staff members could accept, noting that the policy would help ensure that officers could account for their sources of income and standard of living.
