The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has been drawn to a publication by a certain Johnson Ayorinde alleging a siege on the operations of the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit, NFIU. The Commission wishes to implore stakeholders and members of the public to disregard the publication which is patently false and intended to create confusion in the wake of the recent redeployment of the former acting director, Ms Juliet Ibekaku, an assistant director in the Commission.
There is no unusual presence of armed security at the premises of the NFIU beyond what is necessary to secure its facilities and staff.
In addition, the Commission has no record of complaints of denial of access or intimidation from any one who has business to conduct with the organisation.
I trust EFCC to do the right thing on this one and take the right step. They've been doing well lately
