The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has expressed concern that some lawmakers and governors who are under investigation for corruption have finalised arrangements to leave the country before the May, 29 inauguration of the president-elect, Bola Tinubu.
In a statement released on Friday night, EFCC spokesperson Wilson Uwujaren revealed some politicians’ plans to flee to other nations. He said that the EFCC is currently working with its overseas partners to thwart the plans of the aforementioned governors and politicians.
The statement read partly, “Again, the Commission wishes to alert the public about plans by some of the alleged corrupt politically exposed persons to flee the country ahead of May 29.
“The Commission is working in close collaboration with its international partners to frustrate these escape plans and bring those involved to justice.”
It is gathered that governors-elect, senators-elect, the House of Representatives and state Houses Assembly members-elect will be inaugurated on the 29th of May.
