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.

Mike Bamiloye Defends Pastor Adeboye: ‘They Ignored the Message, Focused on the Apology

Published

True humility comes from having Heaven in view, as demonstrated by Daddy E.A. Adeboye’s recent public apology.

His actions show that following God’s instructions, even when difficult, holds more value than earthly recognition.

When God corrects us privately, we must act on it publicly if necessary.

Ego and pride can hinder obedience, but as servants of the Most High, we must prioritize God’s commands over personal image.

Restitution and open confession may be the steps required for a peaceful journey to Heaven.

President Bola Tinubu has awarded Tajudeen Abbas, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON), the nation’s second-highest national honor.

This announcement was made by Mr. Bayo Onanuga, the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, in a statement on Friday night. The honor follows ongoing debates between the Senate and the House regarding the Speaker’s eligibility for a higher accolade.

During his Independence Anniversary speech on October 1, President Tinubu had previously awarded the Commander of the Federal Republic (CFR) to the Speaker and the Deputy Senate President, prompting discussions in the House for a more prestigious honor.

Onanuga noted that the President was influenced by the House’s request and decided to rectify what he termed a “historical error.” As a result, the Speaker’s honor was upgraded from CFR to GCON, in line with the National Order of Precedence. The Speaker, Senate President, and other National Assembly leaders, along with the Chief Justice of Nigeria, will be formally honored in a ceremony at a later date, according to the Presidency.
