The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is embroiled in a growing scandal after reports emerged of missing cash and valuables from its Lagos Zonal Command.

Credible sources told PRNigeria that between $350,000 and $400,000 has reportedly gone missing, along with expensive jewelry and other high-value items.

This disturbing revelation comes just days after the anti-graft agency dismissed 27 of its officers due to misconduct and fraudulent activities, a move that has raised questions about accountability and oversight within the agency.

The dismissals, announced on Monday, followed recommendations made by the EFCC Staff Disciplinary Committee and were subsequently ratified by the commission’s Chairman, Ola Olukoyede

As of the time of this report, efforts to reach the EFCC’s spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, for comments on this latest debacle have been unsuccessful.

Once hailed as Nigeria’s leading institution in the fight against financial crime, the agency is now under pressure to address internal lapses that could undermine its credibility.
