The acting Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba Alkali, on Wednesday ordered immediate withdrawal of senior police officers attached to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The development came as the EFCC began implementation of Justice Salami-led panel, which proposed that police officers should stay away from heading the commission whether at the headquarters or at the zonal level.
The officers withdrawn are from the rank of Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) and above.
It was learnt that zonal heads of the EFCC, who are police officers are now returning back to the police force.
