Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC plans to go after more people allegedly linked with an investigation into the 16 billion dollars power projects awarded under the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
As part of the probe, the EFCC, last week detained two officials of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company NDPHC.
The anti-graft agency has launched a probe into an alleged misappropriation of the funds running into trillions of naira after President Muhammadu Buhari gave a clue last year that the deal was going to be investigated.
President Buhari had given the EFCC the green light, to probe the contracts following persistent complaints by Nigerians about insufficient power supply in the country after government had allegedly spent 16 billion dollars.
Speaking at the Federal Capital Territory’s presidential rally of the All Progressives Congress APC in February this year, Buhari vowed that his administration would continue to ensure efficient utilisation of the nation’s scarce resources in the provision of infrastructural facilities across the country.I
