One of the vehicles attacked by the gunmen
Corruption
appears to be physically fighting back in broad daylight as the head
office of the premier anti-graft body, EFCC has been attacked by
faceless gunmen.
A major security breach was recorded at the headquarters of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in the early hours of
Wednesday, August 16, 2017, as unknown gunmen attacked the office
located at Wuse Zone 7, Abuja.
The group of heavily armed bandits invaded the office at about
05.00 hours and began shooting into the premises, damaging vehicles
parked in the premises in the process. However, the attack was repelled
by guards on duty.
The hoodlums escaped in a getaway vehicle but not without leaving a
message; a white envelope dropped by the fleeing attackers was found to
contain a death threat addressed to Ishaku Sharu, a senior investigator
with the Commission.
Ishaku who heads the Foreign Exchange Malpractices Fraud Section is
in charge of corruption investigation involving several politically
exposed persons and retired military brass hats.
The attack on the Zone 7 office which houses the Commission’s AMCON
Desk, Procurement Fraud and Foreign Exchange Malpractices Sections, is
coming few weeks after another investigator, Austin Okwor was shot and
wounded by unknown assailants in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The latest incident has already been reported to the police for investigation.
