Photos: EFCC assures pro-Patience Jonathan protesters of fairness and prompt response
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has assured the public of its fairness and readiness to attend to all issues referred to it without any delay.
This assurance was given on Thursday, October 27th, by the South-South Zonal Head of Public Affairs of the Commission, Mr. Oladele Oyewale while receiving some women protesters, who thronged EFCC office in Port Harcourt.
The women, numbering about 100, stormed the EFCC’s office chanting various songs and carrying different placards and banners with inscriptions bearing their grievances. The main thrust of their grievances was that the EFCC should release the $15million Patience Jonathan’s money without delay.
Leader of the protesters, High Chief Rita N. Onwunali Adandigbo, said that her group, Voice of Niger Delta Women, supported the corruption agenda of President Muhammadu Buhari but was in the EFCC to express its worry over the “deteriorating health situation of Mrs Patience Jonathan owing to the non-release of her money by the EFCC”.
Responding, Oyewale assured the group that their grievances would be looked into promptly and objectively.
"We will report your grievances to the Ag. Executive chairman, Mr. Ibrahim Magu and he will carefully look into it. We will report everything you have said to him and actions will be taken accordingly." he said.
