The names are contained in the list of high-profile cases involving over one hundred politically-exposed persons and top-ranking public officers still being investigated by the EFCC as of August 2017. The list was recently sent by the anti-graft agency to the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami .
The list, according to media report, did not disclose the details of the cases under investigation. In his reaction on Tuesday, Fayose’s Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said the state government would not cooperate with the EFCC until it started acting responsibly.
