Two officials of the Kogi State Government have surrendered to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over allegations of corruption.
The officials have been identified as Abdulsalami Hudu and Umar Oricha.
The surrended on Monday at the headquarters of the EFCC.
The decision of the two officials of the Kogi state government to report at the EFCC office, may not be unconnected with media reports last week that the Federal High Court in Abuja had ordered the arrest of Hudu and Oricha, over allegations of withdrawal of over ₦46bn in cash from the Kogi State government bank accounts.
The order was reportedly granted by Justice Emeka Nwite on Tuesday in a motion ex parte filed by the EFCC and marked as suit number: FHC/ABJ/CS/909/2024.
Unconfirmed reports have it that the decision of the two officials to report at the EFCC, may also not be unconnected with the disposition of the Kogi State government to toe the line of respect for the rule of law, thereby encouraging its officials to report at the EFCC despite not receiving any warrant or invitation from the anti-corruption agency or any of its representatives.
At the time of this report, the two officials- Hudu, the former cashier at the Kogi State Government House and Oricha, the Director General of Government House Administration, were seen at the headquarters of the EFCC in Abuja.
