Former federal lawmaker, Senator Dino Melaye, has expressed disappointment over a petition calling on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to reopen and investigate alleged financial crimes involving the 2027 presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Atiku Abubakar, during his tenure as Nigeria’s Vice President.
DAILY POST reports that a former member of the House of Representatives, Ehiozuwa Agbonayinma, recently petitioned the anti-graft agency to reopen the case within 14 days.
The petitioner vowed that if, at the expiration of the 14-day ultimatum, the commission refuses or neglects to act, he would instruct his lawyers to take legal action against the EFCC.
In the petition, Agbonayinma alleged that sometime between 2005 and 2006, the EFCC investigated and made a report on allegations of grand corruption involving Atiku, who was then the sitting Vice President.
