By Onoja Baba, Nigeria
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has distanced itself from a former staff member, Olakunle Alex Folarin, who appeared on a matchmaking programme hosted on Lege Miami’s social media platforms.
In a statement released on Monday, the EFCC said Folarin was dismissed from the Commission for certificate forgery. He had served as a driver at the Ibadan Zonal Directorate before his dismissal.
The Executive Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ola Olukoyede, has ordered Folarin’s arrest after it was discovered that he was still in possession of some properties belonging to the Commission, including an identity card that should have been returned upon his dismissal.
The Commission urged the public not to associate Folarin’s activities after leaving the service with the EFCC, stressing that his appearance on the matchmaking show did not represent the institution i
n any way.
