EFCC set to quiz more ex-govs

The Economic and Financial Crimes C o m m i s s i o n (EFCC) is set to invite some former governors for interrogation for alleged money laundering, embezzlement of public funds and abuse of public office, investigation has revealed.

 New Telegraph gathered from sources in Abuja that some of the former governors, who just left office, may be needed to provide answers to “some weighty allegations of corruption” contained in some petitions pending against them.
The source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said operatives had found merit in some of the petitions, hence the decision to invite them for interrogation. 
He added that the EFCC would only invite suspects for questioning only when its operatives have found merit in petitions written against them while petitions found to be frivolous are not acted upon. 
When New Telegraph probed further on the identities of the ex-governors being expected in the days ahead, the source declined to mention names, saying some of those to be quizzed include a former South- South governor and another from the North- Central.
