The House of Representatives Committee on Financial Crimes had given Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC, Ola Olukoyede till July 30 to appear before it over budgetary allocation issues.
The committee said that Olukoyede, along with his management team, should appear to answer questions relating to the commission’s budget performance and its challenges.
Rep. Obinna Onwusibe, the chairman of the committee, expressed the panel’s displeasure at an oversight of the commission’s office in Abuja.
The committee condemned what it described as the snobbish attitude of the chairman and the denial of the committee’s members access into the commission’s complex.
Following the denial of access into the commission’s complex, the committee members headed back to their bus and returned to the National Assembly.
The committee had visited the EFCC headquarters after communicating with the anti-graft agency and agreeing on a date for an oversight visit.
The committee was, however, surprisingly told that the chairman was called for an unexplained emergency development at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
