Two officials from the Kogi State Government are being questioned at the EFCC headquarters in Abuja. The State’s Information Commissioner, Kingsley Fanwo, mentioned that these officials went to the EFCC willingly without being asked.
Fanwo stated, “Despite not receiving an official invitation, they decided to voluntarily report at the headquarters of the commission in Abuja.
“We have not been told the specific details about the allegations against them, but it may not be unconnected to the ongoing investigations regarding some present and former Government officials.”
He stated that by voluntarily going to the EFCC office, the two officials have shown that the Kogi State Government is transparent and ready to cooperate in legal investigations by revealing all necessary information.
“We hope that the EFCC will respond to the patriotic action of the officials by remaining professional in conducting their investigations.
He added, “As a Government, we are always prepared to cooperate with anti-graft agencies to prove our transparency and retain the confidence of our development partners who have consistently given us awards in recognition of our unflinching transparency, accountability and probity.”
