Following Ibrahim Magu’s probe and eventual suspension, at least 11 senior officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), have been suspended by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Olanipekun Olukoyede, EFCC’s executive Secretary was among the senior officials suspended for various alleged criminal and corrupt infractions according to a reliable source

Top officials in the agency have been suspended and their offices locked, to prevent any tampering with files at the commission and allow for unfettered investigation of the commission.

The Street Journal had earlier reported that President Buhari suspended Ibrahim Magu, the former acting chairman of the agency last week and appointed the director of operations, Mohammed Umar Abba, to act in capacity.

Olukoyede became the Secretary to the EFCC in November 2018 following confirmation by the Senate.
