EFCC Launches Probe into Bank Accounts of Protest Sponsors Ahead of Nationwide Demonstration
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has initiated an investigation into the bank accounts of various individuals and organizations believed to be funding the upcoming nationwide protest, according to a report by Daily Trust.
The anti-graft agency has been instructed to collaborate with the Department of State Services (DSS) to obtain comprehensive information on the identified sponsors of the protest.
A senior EFCC official disclosed to Daily Trust’s reporter on Monday that the commission has successfully gathered detailed information about these sponsors and has already begun scrutinizing their financial accounts.
This investigation aims to determine the extent of their involvement, particularly if any violence were to occur during the protest.
The EFCC’s goal is to prevent any potential funding of terrorism and ensure that the protest remains peaceful.
The source confirmed that the EFCC is diligently working to track the financial activities of those implicated in supporting the protest scheduled to start on Thursday.
This proactive measure underscores the agency’s commitment to preventing the misuse of funds for potentially violent or destabilizing activities.
