Two officials of Kogi State Government are currently with the Economic and Financial Crime Commission Headquarters in Abuja.
The state Information Commissioner, Kingsley Fanwo, stated this in Lokoja, the state capital.
He said the officials whose names he did not give, voluntarily turned themselves in to the commission in Abuja.
“We have not been told the specific details about the allegations against them, but it may not be unconnected to the ongoing investigations regarding some present and former government officials.”
He said that the officials reported as law-abiding citizens to further demonstrate that the Government of Kogi State has nothing to hide and will always open her books to lawful investigations.
“We hope that the EFCC will respond to the patriotic action of the officials by remaining professional in conducting their investigations. As a Government, we are always prepared to cooperate with anti-graft agencies to prove our transparency and retain the confidence of our development partners who have consistently given us awards in recognition of our unflinching transparency, accountability and probity.”
