The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has sacked 27 officers from its workforce in 2024 for fraudulent activities and misconduct.

In a statement issued on Monday by the agency’s spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, the EFCC dislosed that the dismissal was after recommendations from its Staff Disciplinary Committee and was ratified by the Executive Chairman, Ola Olukoyede.

The statement read, “In its quest to enforce integrity and rid its fold of fraudulent elements, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission dismissed 27 officers from its workforce in 2024.

“Their dismissal, following the recommendation of the Staff Disciplinary Committee of the EFCC, was ratified by the Executive Chairman, Ola Olukoyede.”

Olukoyede reaffirmed the commission’s zero tolerance for corruption, emphasising that no officer is immune to disciplinary measures.

He assured the public that all allegations against EFCC staff would be thoroughly investigated, including a trending $400,000 claim against a Sectional Head by a supposed EFCC staff member.
