Two officials of the Kogi State Government are currently being interrogated at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) headquarters in Abuja.
In a statement obtained by our reporter on Monday, the State Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo said the top government officials turned themselves over without receiving any invitation from the anti-graft agency.
“Despite not receiving an official invitation, they decided to voluntarily report at the headquarters of the commission in Abuja,” Fanwo said.
“We have not been told the specific details about the allegations against them, but it may not be unconnected to the ongoing investigations regarding some present and former Government officials.”
He said that by willing reporting to the EFCC office, the duo have further demonstrated that the Government of Kogi State has nothing to hide and will always open her books to lawful investigations.
“We hope that the EFCC will respond to the patriotic action of the officials by remaining professional in conducting their investigations.
“As a Government, we are always prepared to cooperate with anti-graft agencies to prove our transparency and retain the confidence of our development partners who have consistently given us awards in recognition of our unflinching transparency, accountability and probity,” Fanwo added.
