The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has identified Nigerians indicted in the Panama Papers, The Nation reports.

According to the newspaper, the list of the indicted persons may be made public soon ahead of further investigation and prosecution.

“Our investigators have worked hard on Panama Papers in the last one year and we have reached a reasonable bend,” an EFCC source said.

“As I talk to you, the EFCC has identified Nigerians who should be questioned and prosecuted for using shell companies to launder public funds.

“We will soon release the names of those affected to the public. They will also be arrested preparatory to their interrogation and trial. Our report is ready.”

The source added, “Our investigators have succeeded in using the evidence in Panama Papers to carry out forensic tracking of the activities of the indicted Nigerians. There is no hiding place for these elements and their international collaborators.”
