President Bola Tinubu has appointed a top prosecutor for the Economic Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Rotimi Oyedepo, SAN, and six others as new aides.

Oyedepo is an employee of the EFCC as he was one of the EFCC officials victimized alongside then acting chairman of the agency, Ibrahim Magu, by the immediate-past AGF, Abubakar Malami, who instigated a probe of the agency to oust Magu.

The new appointees have been deployed to the Federal Ministry of Justice, Abuja.
