INDICATIONS emerged yesterday that the Economic and
Financial Crime Commission, EFCC, might beam a search
light on the finances and expenses of Ondo State
government, following a petition over alleged financial
misappropriation.


The petition, it was gathered, was filed by a former senior
government official in Governor Olusegun Mimiko’s
government.
Vanguard gathered that the ex-government official had filed
about 16 petitions to the anti-graft agency last month,
detailing evidence of alleged misappropriation of public
funds.


The petition, according to sources, alleged awards of
contracts to unqualified persons, inflation of cost of
contracts, and shady deals in some ministries by
government officials.


A source at the anti-graft agency said: “We began
investigation immediately we got the petition and it is still
ongoing but we cannot make any arrest now until
investigation is concluded. This is to enable us get facts
first before making arrests.


”Not too long from now, we will have concluded our
investigation and the next line of action will be to effect
arrest. There shall be no sacred cow as anyone fingered;
whether low or self acclaimed mighty will be dealt with
accordingly. “


When contacted, spokesman for EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren
stated that the commission had received several petitions
against both former and serving state governors.
He could however not state in clear terms whether that of
Ondo State government was among.
But he affirmed that the commission was working on them
