The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ola Olukoyede, on Saturday, called on Compliance Officers of Banks across the country to desist from unauthorized disclosure of EFCC’s investigation activities and request from banks to their customers.

Olukoyede, in a statement by Head, Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, in Ibadan, Oyo State capital, decried the unhealthy support fraudsters received from the banking sector in Nigeria.

Oyewale stressed that it is posing considerable challenges and concerns to the commission.

The EFCC chairman made this call through the Acting Zonal Director of the Ibadan Zonal Command of the agency, Hauwa Garba Ringim during a stakeholders’ meeting with Compliance Officers of Banks in Oyo State.

Olukoyede also urged them to always respond to letters received from the Commission with certified true copies including instruments of transactions of beneficiaries or sources, as this will expedite the processes of investigation to a logical conclusion.
