This followed a disciplinary committee’s recommendation and was approved by Chairman Ola Olukoyede.
Olukoyede stressed the EFCC’s commitment to fighting corruption within its own ranks, promising thorough investigations into all allegations regardless of the officer’s position.
This comes as they’re also investigating a separate $400,000 fraud case involving an employee and a Sectional Head.
Separately, the EFCC issued a warning about imposters using the chairman’s name to scam people.
Two individuals, Ojobo Joshua and Aliyu Hashim, were charged with trying to extort $1 million from a former Nigerian Ports Authority head, Mohammed Bello-Koko, under the guise of an investigation.
The EFCC told the public to report any similar incidents and to ignore false accusations against its officers.
