The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has suspended some 12 officers after they were interviewed before the Presidential Investigation Committee.
Among the officials suspended were, Kabir Latona, Muhammed Abba, Ibrahim Buhari, Rotimi Oyedepo and Olanipekun Olukoyede, the secretary for the agency.
The officials suspended are high-ranking official of the commisson.
A source spoke on anonymity and said that: “After being in limbo for one week, we got our suspension letters on Monday.
“We were informed that the suspension is indefinite. We have taken it in good faith. But most of us have not received queries in our career.
“We have not even appeared before any disciplinary committee. We appeal to President Mummadu Buhari to intervene by reversing the suspension.”
“It wasn’t a friendly session but we were able to make some clarifications on our performance in office.
“A Coordinator told the committee that service and loyalty to Nigeria guided their conduct in office rather than sentiments.”
