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.

Peter Obi Raises Concerns Over Nigeria’s Hunger Index Ranking

Isaac Fayose Criticizes Government Over Taxation and Insecurity
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.
He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.
According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.
The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
