By our reporter| The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said it is investigating corruption allegations against Godswill Akpabio, minister of Niger Delta affairs, and Kemebradikumo Pondei, NDDC acting managing director.
The anti-graft agency made the disclosure in a letter dated August 14 and signed by head of the economic governance section, Adebayo Adeniyi, in response to the petition against the duo by Foundation for True Freedom and Good Governance, a civil society group.
The civil society group had asked the EFCC to investigate Akpabio and Pondei over allegations of corruption at the NDDC.
“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,” the EFCC said in the letter.
“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 NCDC was recently probed by national assembly for alleged mismanagement of N40 billion by the interim management committee.
