EFCC Steps Up Fight Against Corruption, Strengthens Forensic Capacity

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has vowed to strengthen its forensic capacity for preventive operations against financial crimes in the country.
The agency also reiterated that it’s leaving no stone unturned in driving a more proactive intelligence-gathering strategy towards dwarfing corruption and related financial crimes.

He said: “EFCC will not rest on its ores. We will intelligently, as usual, beam our forensic eye against financial crimes. We are more concerned with preventive rather than prosecution approaches to fighting corruption head-on.

“The commission will strengthen its intelligence components in knowing what went wrong that financial crimes keep happening.”

The commission’s Sokoto zonal commander, ACE I Aliyu Yunusa vowed on Friday, December 15, in Sokoto while speaking to reporters at the zone’s 2023 operations review and end-of-year dinner.

He said the commission would redouble efforts at discharging its strategic responsibility to achieve the desired results against the demon which he noted was fast retarding the economic prosperity of the country.

According to the zonal boss who oversees Sokoto, Kebbi, and Zamfara states, the commission could improve its operation with the deliberate support of stakeholders including the media in spreading its crusade against financial malpractices through intelligence gathering, sensitization, and advocacy.
