“The officers are responding to inquiries about the theft of certain operational items that they were unable to account for. They were arrested last week on the Executive Chairman, Mr. Ola Olukoyede,’s orders.”
Investigators are making good progress, the agency said, and those found guilty will face internal disciplinary procedures.
According to the EFCC, the action is part of its ongoing attempts to rid the organization of corrupt practices.
