5 high profile figures interrogated by EFCC since Buhari’s inauguration

Since May 29, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has seemingly awoken from the slumber of the past few years.

Immediately President Muhammadu Buhari was sworn in, the anti-graft agency got to work, and began to look into cases of corruption, by inviting suspected persons for interrogation.

Ever since, several persons have been invited for questioning, but so far, only a few have been charged to court by the EFCC.

While we exercise some patience with the agency, we bring you 5 high profile persons that have been invited by the EFCC.

On Tuesday, July 28, wife of the Senate President, Toyin Saraki, honoured the invitation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s office. EFCC invited Mrs Saraki to answer questions about contracts carried out in Kwara State when her husband, Senator Bukola Saraki, was Governor from 2003 to 2011.
