Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ola Olukoyede, has dismissed insinuations that the agency is only going after internet fraudsters, popularly known as 'Yahoo boys'. Olukoyede assured that will lead a broad-based and holistic anti-graft war that would not spare anyone linked with any form of economic and financial crimes. The EFCC boss stated this in a statement by the agency's spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, on Monday in Abuja.
We will not spare the mega thieves. As we are doing the mega, we will also do those at the lower end. “In the last two months, we have arraigned two former governors. So, it is not true that we are only focused on internet fraudsters. “Of course, internet fraud is bad enough but our focus is on every form of economic and financial crimes,' he said.
