Nobody is too Big to be Investigated in Nigeria, Says the EFCC Chairman

Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, has said that nobody is too big to be investigated in the country by the anti-graft agency.

He gave this indication on Tuesday at a meeting with his counterpart at the Independent Corrupt Practices and Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Dr. Musa Aliyu, at the ICPC headquarters in Abuja.

Olukoyede warned that once anyone breached the financial guideline, he would be picked up.

The EFCC chairman said President Tinubu is ready to fight corruption and he had demonstrated this since Monday.

The ICPC chairman said there was the need for both anti-corruption agencies to synergies for effective fight against financial crimes in the country.

In a statement by EFCC’s spokesman, Dele Oyewale, Olukoyede said: Tinubu is offering the right atmosphere for anti-graft activities, both for the EFCC and ICPC and no Nigerian is immune to investigation for any corruption allegation.

We believe that with the kind of President we have, who is ready and willing to do the right thing and from what we have seen in recent times and in the last 48 hours, it is clear that he has provided leadership and created the atmosphere for us to work.

So there is no hiding place for the corrupt. We must give our best, we must be committed and give the President the right support he needs.

Nobody is too big to be investigated in this country. Once you are not playing according to the rules, we will investigate you.
