The chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede has announced the dismissal of two officials involved in corruption as part of the ongoing reforms aimed at strengthening the commission.
In a statement on Tuesday at the annual Criminal Law Review Conference organised by the Rule of Law Development Foundation in Abuja, Olukoyede revealed that the officials were dismissed two weeks ago after being found guilty of misconduct.
He made it clear that such actions were part of the EFCC’s comprehensive efforts to eradicate corruption within the organization itself.
Olukoyede, who has been vocal in his fight against corruption, challenged Nigerians to bring forward any evidence of bribe against him.
“Two weeks ago, I had to dismiss two staff members. You can’t fight corruption and have dirty hands,” Olukoyede remarked.
