Anti-Corruption Group Demands Proof Against EFCC Officer

The Anti-Corruption Crusaders Network has called for verifiable evidence from individuals making allegations against a senior officer of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). In a statement signed by managing director Ahmed Mahmud, the organization emphasized that allegations regarding the officer's access to the EFCC chairman and handling of petitions should be viewed within the context of the commission's operational structure.

Mahmud noted that organizations operate through established hierarchies, allowing heads to delegate responsibilities. The group argued that access to the chairman does not inherently indicate wrongdoing and questioned how outsiders could possess detailed information about the EFCC's internal operations.

They also requested the release of an alleged voice recording linked to the matter for verification. The organization warned that unverified claims could harm reputations and public confidence in institutions, urging EFCC chairman Ola Olukoyede to investigate the allegations thoroughly.
