The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has invited the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio, and the acting Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, Prof Kemebradikumo Pondei, for questioning over corruption allegations of diversion of public funds.
This was disclosed in a letter addressed to Foundation for True Freedom and Good Governance on August 14, 2020 signed by the Head, Economic Governance Section, Adebayo Adeniyi.
In the letter, EFCC disclosed that it was probing the NDDC and invited the group, which is led by activist Deji Adeyanju, to attend the proceedings.
The letter reads in part:
”We write to acknowledge the receipt of your petition dated August 3, 2020 in respect of the above subject and to inform you that investigation into the case has commenced.
“In view of the above, you are kindly requested to attend an interview with the undersigned through the O/C team six on Thursday, August 20, 2020 at EFCC headquarters third floor.”
The National Assembly is currently investigating the leadership of the NDDC over allegations of mismanaging N81 billion.
