office at Iyaganku GRA, Ibadan.
According to him ''the
Ibadan Zonal office was established in January 2016 as an impetus to the
anti corruption vision of the Federal Government and the resolve of the Acting
Executive Chairman, Ibrahim Magu to extend the anti graft war to the grassroots
and especially to bring the Commission closer to the people''.
He stressed that within few months of existence,
the office had received over 200 petitions, out of which 123 are under

corruption to the EFCC promptly. Ezinma added that going
forward, “we will forge ahead and diligently pursue all cases to ensure that
justice is served accordingly”.
