The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is embroiled in another controversy as an officer from its Kaduna Zonal Office, tasked with managing exhibits, has reportedly absconded with over $30,000 and other valuables.
This comes shortly after the agency detained 10 officers in Lagos for failing to account for missing operational items.
While the EFCC has not disclosed specific details, investigations by DailyNigerian revealed that the missing items include gold bars valued at over ₦1 billion, $180,000, and £140,000.
In the latest incident, a staff member known only as Polycarp disappeared after being unable to explain the whereabouts of the $30,000, according to DailyNigerian.
Insiders who preferred anonymity told the newspaper that the zonal director, Benedict Ubi, a couple of weeks ago ordered for an audit of the directorate’s exhibit room, following the internal heist that occurred in Lagos.
