The intricacies of the investigation were further complicated by a restraining order obtained by the religious organization, halting the EFCC’ s ongoing inquiry into the matter.
Olukoyede expressed deep concern over the escalating prevalence of financial crimes and graft across the nation, necessitating a critical reassessment of the commission’ s strategies.
Acknowledging the EFCC’ s effective deployment of enforcement powers against various forms of financial crimes, including grand corruption and cybercrimes, Olukoyede highlighted the persistent festering of these crimes, signaling the urgency for a paradigm shift towards prevention- oriented approaches.
