The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, says it has begun investigation into the N10m extortion allegation against some of its operatives by a Nigerian rapper, Oladipupo Olabode Oladimeji, popularly known as Oladips.
It added that the accused officers have been suspended of
their operational duties pending the conclusion of investigation.
EFCC Spokesperson, Dele Oyewale who disclosed this in a
statement on Saturday said the commission was alarmed by such allegation and
would ensure that truth was unravelled.
Recall that Oladips had accused some operatives of the
Commission of extorting the sum of Ten Million Naira from him before securing
his release when he was arrested alongside other suspected internet fraudsters.
Reacting, the EFCC Spokesperson insisted that the picture
painted by Oladips was not a true reflection of the anti-graft agency.
“We have seen his claims and have commenced investigations
on them accordingly. It is also needful to state that if the allegation is
found to be false and raised to malign the Commission or tarnish its image,
appropriate sanctions will also be imposed.” He added.
He, therefore, urged the public to await the outcome of the
investigations and continue to keep faith with the commission.
